Sure! I was just thinking of the possibilities of saving time for those who host the contest, and already put so much effort into it . I mean, you could also give a certain defined period for people to reply (and let them know up front the only places you'll contact them etc). But if you're willing to do it this way, I do like it and have always appreciated that knowledge that my entry is thus approved and didn't break any rules! I think they do it kind of like this with LEGO IDEAS contests too.Bluesecrets wrote:We have discussed it over and over. People make mistakes. Sometimes it is simple as you forgot to pull down the menu to put it in the right category. I know my first CCC, I made a little mistake and had to ask for help. Mind you, I checked, saw the mistake and asked for the help. The people on the "naughty" lists often do not. In fact, I often get yelled at in private messages for entries that aren't approved.josdu wrote:Perhaps, for future years, there is no need to "approve" each entry the way it's done now. Many other contests leave that responsibility up to the builder... if an entry breaks the rules or it doesn't fit the category, it simply gets disqualified or scores worse. That could be helpful?
But, I am a stickler for fairness. So much so that I know it annoys others when I talk about it. But if you built, followed the rules and did everything proper, why does someone who did not follow the rules able to compete against you? Life doesn't work that way. If you don't fill out paper work correctly, you don't get what you were asking for...whether it is a passport, drivers license, scholarship, college application, etc.
And then there is honoring the fact that someone went out of their way to build for a contest I ran. That has meaning. It might not to everyone else, but it does to me.
So while not approving would make things quicker, it might hurt the contest more than the little bit of time it takes to clean up entries.
I hope that makes sense.

Re: CCC XX - Anniversary Contest
The last judge has 4 categories left to finish. I'll check in with them tonight. Then I'll need a day or 2 to process the numbers. We're getting VERY close.

Re: CCC XX - Anniversary Contest
Judging is complete. I am crunching the numbers. We are getting even closer. I am hoping for the next day or two. After I finish, the page needs programmed.
Just trying to be as transportation as I can be.
