10 WILL ENTER. 1 WILL LEAVE.

SPFBO: the Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off, organized by Mark Lawrence During the contest's tenth year, a new rule was added:

xii) The champion of SPFBO 10 will be entered into a "champions league" - very like phase 2 - with the 9 champions from past contests.

The official contest website is here: https://mark---lawrence.blogspot.com/...

THESE ARE THE 10 COMPETING CHAMPIONS.

Judges will vote as they will. But who do you think deserves the title of CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS?

(NB: At some point following the new rule addition, Lawrence posted some more information about this supplementary contest, as follows).

"Note: Following the conclusion of SPFBOX at the end of April 2025, there will be a month-long break. After that the Champion's League will begin. This will be a typical Phase 2 stage (we may play around with the scoring mechanism) but with the finalist board populated by the 10 champion from the past 10 contests.

Thus, at the end of 2025 (let's say December 20th to avoid being swallowed by the festive season) we will have a champion of champions.

SPFBOXI (SPFBO 11) will then commence at the start of 2026.
Let's say January 3rd to avoid New Years' hangovers etc. And run til December 20th.

So, all future SPFBO contests will be aligned with the calendar year."
