o4. In the case of a draw, you will each be given another prompt, word count and deadline. So on and so forth.
o5. When you reach the final rounds, you will be given the option of using a Second. Generally, Seconds try to find the most peaceful way to end a duel. In this case, since you can't end it without winning, a second will be a person to collaborate with. This is not mandatory. You may pick your Second.
o6. Depending on how often you chose to collaborate with someone, the number of rounds collaborated with will determine the amount of prize money given to the collaborator. The number of people who enter will determine the number of rounds and therefore, the number of levels Seconds are available for. The Prize for Seconds will come from the Grand Prize and will be based upon how many rounds they collaborated with their partner..
o7. In terms of Seconds, if you chose to use one, he or she is the only one you can use; as in, once you pick one, you can't pick another one.
