How this works?

I'll choose 10 contestants and 1-2 judges.
There will be 5 pairs of contestants, which means two contestants of the similar designing ability
will be paired up as one and they both will be competing against each other. For example,
Pair 1 - A vs B
Pair 2 - C vs D ,
Pair 3 - E vs F and so on.
The challenges for these competitions wont be made by me, infact the challenges will be real requests
from the requesters. I have noticed that, when we make graphics for any competitions, the graphics usually
dont get used by anyone, even if we put them as premades. Thats why I thought why not make sth which people can use.
So for example (ROUND 1 - Cover making):
I'll open forms for requesters to request covers for their posted books. Then I'll choose only appropriate
5 requests for the challenge and then assign each request to each pair. So for Pair 1 - Designer A and Designer B
will design the same cover for requester 1. Then in Pair 2 - Designer C & Designer D will design the same cover
for requester 2. and so on. You will be given 7 days to submit your entries. After that the judges will critique
the graphic for better improvements next time and also give scores. The requester will then pick only any one of
the two covers designed. Then the requester must complete the payment of that designer only. For example, if the judge
has given Designer A higher marks then Designer B, that doesnt mean that the requester has to choose Designer A.
He can choose any he likes. But when it comes to elimination, both the judge's score and the designer picked by
the requester will be calculated. So in each Round, 2 contestants from 2 different pairs will be eliminated.
There will be 5 rounds in total. In each round the pairs will change.
Round 1, 5 pairs (10 contestants)
Round 2, 4 pairs (8  ")
Round 3, 3 pairs (6  ")
Round 4, 2 pairs (4  ")
Round 5, 1 pair  (2  ")
I am not sure yet if I should make it a cover competition only or various graphics,
like including blends, headers, icons pack etc. Let me know your thoughts and let me know if you have
any questions about this.
