Round 2 Formatting Question

I was looking at the formatting for the Round 2 entries, and I noticed that there's no heading for the general description paragraph (the section right after Resources). Comparing the ISWG entries, that section is indeed without a heading, but is visually separated from the Resources section by the edge of the summary box.

Is it intentional that we not use anything to separate those two sections? Had I not investigated more closely, I'd have thought that the suggestion of a 100-word paragraph was part of the Resources section. I'd hate to see people get disqualified for making that mistake, you know?

It is intentional that you not use anything (other than a line break) to separate your Resources line from the general description paragraph.

Thanks for asking, Jacob. I actually had to re-read the formatting several times before I figured that out - it did appear to me at first that they wanted a 100 word resources paragraph, but that didn't feel right; then I thought perhaps there was a missed heading. I'm glad we were given the ISWG as a guide; that's really what saved me from making that error. Good to do the research - and Sean, I really appreciate you clarifying that for us. Thanks!

Seconded! (or is that third-ed?)

As always look at the examples provided... it's hard to steer wrong if you match yours up to the Aspis Consortium entry provided. And download your copy of the Inner Sea World Guide if you don't already own it! It is simply superb.

I made this mistake too, as the submission format appeared to disagree with the examples given, but sticking to the template was an absolute must. I only figured it out when I noticed the colon after Resources.

It's a shame actually, I thought I'd done a really good job of summarising the organisation through a discussion of their resources :-)
