Re: Can we have Definite dates for next contest?

["Benedict" <boycat_oh@...>]

Hi, Eric and Edward

Each contest is run solely at the discretion of the judge at the
time.  Clark will be responsible for the next contest so only he
can say for sure what he will do regarding an announcement
date.

For the record this is what the contest rules stated about the
announcement date:

"8) The winner of the competition will be announced on 22
January 2004. Depending on the quantity of games received, this
date may move. "

I finished the judging at the weekend and so, according to the
rules of the contest, made the announcement early.
