I sure feel like a nitpicking wiseguy now...but still, I'm pretty sure there's an error in the template for the round 1 woundrous item:
Shouldn't the second occurrence of 'Aura' should be replaced with 'Weight'?
[...snip...]
Aura ZZstrength ZZschool; CL ZZth
Slot ZZslot; Price ZZ gp; Aura ZZ lbs.
[...snip...]
must...not...mention rule #10 oh nooo - couldn't resist
*technomagic*
*shifty eyes*
Nothing to see here.
Thanks for fixing that Ross. :)

Wait! There was a typo in the round 1 rules. This violates Auto-Reject Rule #10. That means the rules are ejected and there are no rules to round 1. Woo-hoo! Anarchy!!

Now THAT is funny.
Made moreso by the fact that the exact same error was in the guidelines last year. Copy and paste anyone? ;-)

Mea culpa. It's hard enough getting all the years updated for this year's competition....
This seems so insanely petty, but...
The template also does not have spell names (in the requirements section) in italics, though they are in the Core Rulebook.

Seems like the kind of observation that might set a Superstar apart from someone who didn't notice that style element in our published material.

Fair enough. Thanks, Mark! :)

I think that was mentioned before as intentional as there might be multiple spells and the comma is not supposed to be italicized. Or something like that.
Spell names are always (and no, that's not a spell) italicized. And also lower-case, unless they begin a sentence. And also alphabetized when they appear in a list (such as the Construction Requirements of a wondrous item).

You are correct, sir.
Hmmm, I'm confused and I guess I should've asked this question before submitting my item (I was too excited!)...
For your convenience, the following text contains all the necessary formatting to make your submission comparable to those in the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook. ... You should not use ALL CAPS for any part of your wondrous item submission.
ALL CAPS is used in the Pathfinder Core Rulebook for the Item Name and the headings "DESCRIPTION" and "CONSTRUCTION".

The fact that words like "description" appear in print in all-caps is a function of our formatting, fonts, and style. The word LOOKS like it's all caps, but if you copy/paste that word into another document... say, a bookmark in a PDF... that uses a standard font with no unusual style treatment, it reverts to whatever you originally typed. Which, if you typed it in all-caps, now looks weird.
In other words, we handle the "ALL CAPS" element of something in-house during the layout stage of a product. That's not something that we need our freelancers (or RPG superstars) to do, and indeed, if they DO do this, it actually creates more work for us since we then have to go in and manually re-write the ALL CAPS stuff so it won't freak out once we start styling things.
Our writers do this all the time anyway, and fixing things like this is part of what we get paid to do, so it's not really a big deal for us. We just prefer our writers to NOT do that, and getting folks "trained" to write for us the way we want as early as the first round of RPG Superstar is just thinking ahead.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll have to remember this for the next round.
