How much time should a participant roughly allocate for this? How much time are we supposed to spend on each of the questions? For how many days/weeks/months will this be running?
Is “start by finding someone to practice with” something one should do before signing up, i.e. should people sign up in groups of 2? Or does that matching of participants happen once you’ve got enough together? If the latter, do you have control over which of the two roles you get?
I couldn’t yet make that much sense of the descriptions of what backcaster and retriever are doing exactly, specifically the “pick a date” part and how the date influences things.
What degree of forecasting experience are you looking for? Or all types of people? Would it make sense for people to sign up when they’ve gone through a lot of calibration training in the past?
And a side note, the first paragraph on the linked page seems to have been pasted twice.
Thanks for the heads up, Josh. It looks like it takes a minute or two for the page to load the first time you open it, but after that it’s quick. I’m going to see if I can fix this.

The welcome page does not load for me; I tried three different browsers.

When should those who sign up expect to receive their acceptance/rejection?
By this Friday.
