Well, most of my entries are Basic-legal, but isn't this the ideal time to try Expert, when you can get editing advice and idea help from your team? |

I agree, there's a lot of creativity in execution in there - I guess I'm talking about creativity in interpretation (which is always sadly dangerous because of DNMC.)
But honestly, it's all good -- the harder it is for us, the more it stretches us (whether editing rules or theme.) |

So are we on break this week? Or did the dates get off?
Overview (look at the bottom)
That would mean that the current Challenge of "Thinking Outside The Box" is NOT for league? |

| I think things will update, but my understanding it is part of the league |

| I dont think it is part of the league. If you look at the Overview page under league it will list the current Rounds and challenges that count for that round. This currently does not list Round 4, nor show this challenge counting anywhere. |

Look at the link  Ja-9 provided and the schedule at the bottom (or under the League tab in your own main dark blue bar of site menus at the top of the page. It says, "Mid-Season Break: Jun. 29th, 2015 - Jul. 5th, 2015" so I think "Thinking" is NOT for league. |

I'm pretty sure it doesn't count.
When you go to the Calendar of Events at the League Menue it says "midseason break" starting today
Look here but you have to go to June |

It should better not count because basically it's a free study; take any photo, than search in more than thousand challenge names for a matching title |

Well, for most of us DPL is over after Round 5. Only the first teams of each division go into the playoff, don't they?
A break after the event wouldn't make much sense. Or did I misunderstand the rules?

"Thinking Outside the Box" and the other two challenges that will be announced this week do NOT count for DPL: this is, indeed, a "break week".

That's not really true, because the idea is to create an image that shows out-of-the-box thinking on a particular topic of your choice: that's far from a "free study" because MOST pictures don't show real lateral thinking regarding ANY topic, unless you wanna be lame and say that anything that DNMC represents fulfillment of this challenge, and I doubt the voters will allow this. Like, say you're basing on a "Dogs" challenge and enter a chicken... That dog won't hunt/that bird won't fly, I don't think... |

That's not true. First challenge with "a little jazz" was Music III, and it doesn't count either. |
