What Is BPL?

BPL stands for Bloggers Premier League. It is a first of its kind unique and elite Team blogging event in the history of Blogosphere.

How does BPL work?

• The registered members are divided into different teams of equal numbers.
• Each team is assigned a unique name and a logo.
• The league happens in round. Every round we announce “n” number of topics. The “n” number is equal to the number of members in a team.
• The team chooses among themselves on who writes on what topic. The teams can discuss and help each other with inputs, ideas and fine-tuning of the blog post content.
• On a scheduled date, the players have to publish the topics on their blog and leave the link to their post in Cafe GingerChai.
• A panel of eminent judges will evaluate the published post on various parameters.
• As per evaluation marks are assigned for various marks and total marks arrived at. Calculating the total marks of all the members of the team a combined Grand total of the team is derived.
• The least scoring team is eliminated.
• The event moves to the next round with another set of topics.
• With elimination in every round, ultimately a summit clash happens with two teams in a grand finale and the ultimate winner established.

Are there any other awards for individual performances?

What part the team members play?

The team players can consult among themselves and choose the topic they are comfortable with,  discuss with their team members,  form strategies , get inputs , fine tune their thoughts and words and blog on the topic they choose.

Where do I publish my post?

You would be publishing the blog post that you write (play) for the BPL rounds in your own blog.

What happens when a member is not able to participate in a round?

It might happen that a player may not be able to participate in a particular round due to his other obligations in personal life and professional life. In that event, the team can field the standby player or a team member can double up and write two posts.
