What is this? This is my first time writing a screenplay and thought it would be a good way to start! I've submitted now.

It allows you to get comments from fellow writers (that are not in the same group as you). You just add your details to the sheet, and ask others to swap for advice.

I didn't get to beta here today but this comment didn't escape my attention:
@NilesPerry I learned more on format from a beta of yours earlier this year than from any book on screenwriting I've read (a few, actually). So keep it up!

Thanks for the explanation! I'll definitely try this for round two. My work ethic wasn't great for this so my first draft by end of day one wouldn't have even been worth it!

Great question! It's an unofficial review by fellow participants who will read your draft prior to submission and offer you their feedback. It's entirely voluntary, but incredibly useful to get the "aha!" and "wut?" from people who are typically just as committed as you are, but aren't the judges. Often they'll spot logic problems or plot holes, or even dull dialog and tired action. Give it a try next round!

Pithy sayings are for the apt. For a longer message, you need a condo.
