        Made it into the QFs with an action script. First time as a QF in Page. Congrats to everyone else who made the first cut!

                How many semi-finalists are there? And how many in each category?

                  I'm pretty sure each category has 25 semifinalists. You can check out past QF, SF, and finalist lists on their site.

                    Scroll to the bottom for the links to the quarters, etc. for last year.

                    Yes, 25 semis to each category as Willoughby said.

                      So if there's roughly 50 scripts remaining in the SF category and 25 semifinalists, I have a 50% chance of making it!

                        Cool. Thanks guys.

                        What do you think the judges were looking at that distinguished the quarter finalists from the rest? What round do reps and producers start paying attention?

                          I've previously been in the quarterfinals, semis, and a finalist. Reps didn't seem to have any interest until I was a finalist.

                              Sorry it's taken me a while to discover this thread. Thanks to Clint for posting this reply!

                              Our system may seem a bit confusing, I know... To clarify, we always advance approximately the top 10% in each category (including tie scores) to the Quarter-Finals. So, because some scripts are entered in multiple categories, roughly the top 13% of scripts entered in the contest actually end up advancing to the QFs. (6364/821)

                              Bottom line, at this stage of the contest we want to give our QF Judges the chance to review as many promising scripts as possible, and we want to give as many writers as possible a shot at advancing to the Semi-Finals.

                              Hope that makes sense!

                              Best regards,
                              Jen
