A week sounds too close to comfort zone, too much time to relax, experiment, cling to routines, get lost in choices, procrastinate and give up. 2-3 days would be ideal for a blitz, granted there should be at lease a day to plan out the plan of action.
It would be tough to do it during workweek seeing how some people have work/family obligations. Friday - Sunday sounds kinda nice.
Promotion video - since it's an in-community event we're all aware of it just through thread in general forum. For those who don't follow Mods could put an announcement on front page. I know that any video advertizing would be lost on me. I'm hyped by things happening, not by promises. As for general public voting on stuff - it just feels sparse. Decisions should be made by those who are willing to dedicate themselves.
Once everything is figured out just post it in general chat, it's the right place. And yea, teams is a wonderful idea. I also like that team points field, better add solo bonus than penalize overall score.
One issue there might be is that as I heard, doing things in wc3 was a lot quicker than in sc2. But we won't know how it bears until we try at least once. Time can be an issue too, since for example I'm usually unavailable on Saturdays.
Another thing is that counting on others yields no results here. If you want it to happen you need to take the crown. I know the feeling. But I also cherish the environment of objectives and restrictions. I'll be besides you on this endeavor.
How I see it, the absolute minimum is at least 2 judges and at least 2 participants. So, Mapster, who wants to help us, someone to judge, and someone to play with.

I think it's viable. I'll participate if at least 1 other person participates.
