18. Written, 2 TPE - The Procrastinator Special! (100 words min.)

Congratulations, procrastinator!  Through your terrible time management skills, you’ve unlocked a special task! [TEAM] has won it all! Were the playoffs as you expected this year, or were there some surprises? Did anything stand out to you about this season’s results? How do you feel about a repeat finals series?

Do we really have back to back SHL champs? I knew Manhattan was the finalists again, which is a tough place to be because it is so hard just to get to the dance, only to lose it twice in a row.
I think the playoffs were definitely surprising. I did not expect Manhattan to make it out of the east at all. And from the west, did not expect Chicago to win one round, let alone 2 and make the finals. I did think this was Winnipeg's season to be the team to beat, and Chicago came out guns blazing and took them down. So good work Chicago for that.

20. Written, 3 TPE, Championship Creek (150 words min.)

If you were the judge of a creek competition, what would you be looking for? How would you choose the championship creek? Is it based on volume of water moved through the creek? Is pleasantness of sound a factor? The beauty of the creek itself? Biodiversity? How do you weigh each factor in your decision? Tell me how you would define the perfect creek.

Finally we have a competition that people really care about! The Championship Creek pits the best of the best. It is truly a world championship unlike those baseball playoffs. It features the best tiny waterfalls, the most water moved, the fastest water moved, the longest distance travelled, the most energy generated, and of course the most ascetically pleasing.
With so many different criteria one might wonder how is it even possible to decide on a single best creek? Well that's why we have *drumroll* The Panel.
A grouping of no less than 10! judges from countries spread across the world vote on a numeric scale for their best creek. Then the top and bottom 2 scores are discarded and the aggregate is made up of the remaining. They are all judged on all of these categories, so to be a winner you have to damn well do your best to be very good at all of these. Individual prizes also exist for the best of each category, which is an enticement to go laser focused on one specific area, making the competition tougher. The grand prize is $10 Million, and each best of wins $1 Million.
Let the games begin!
