I'm against longer deadlines. One of the things i didnt like in terms of considerating joining any Nata is the looooong commitment it potentially is. I think the time aspect of it forces you to try new things and get better or more resourceful. But yeah other than that, I echo with what Tom said. I like these Nata things in that youre able to really follow up and coming talent. Or maybe not even up and coming, maybe they were always there but never crossed my radar.

Thanks for participating in NATA, you were one of my favorites throughout and I really thought you might win it. Have any suggestions for next year? It seems like longer deadlines could help BUT that just means everyone would get tied up longer and would probably set even bigger scopes. Good luck finishing the unfinished stuff, looking forward to seeing the complete version of your last entry.

Maybe not longer deadlines but just fewer rounds. Someone suggested having matchups of 3 or 4 instead of 2. And thaanks, hopefully will get it finished within a couple weeks :)
