My complaint is that the Beginner's Challenge has been handled somewhat shoddily in comparison to the Intermediate Challenge. Nobody was quite sure if they were judging or not and although the judging closed at 10am NY time, it is now almost 20.00 GMT and no final results have been posted. Would this be acceptable in the Advanced Challenge? cheers, Ron Fair enough ... its my fault i shouldnt have said feel free to complain lol i meant..if you feel you were scored wrong [:@][:D][:D] Ron the problem is , you have been spoiled ..the intermediate was oraganized too good ( if i may say so myself [:D] it was text book)...went too perfect and this just went normal..i gues the deadlines were too close togheder, yes i was a litlle bit spent out, sorry couldnt help it, i tried to hide it and make myself snap out of it, i knew that the members that put in all the practice deserved my full enthusiasm and energy......i recomended a way longher brake between the deadlines so that everyone involved had a litlle time to recover, relax, get reorganized..when i was setting them, but members involved insisted that they would lose the momentum.....so i didnt push the issue..i should have but i only susspected this would happen, i didnt know for sure No stuff like this probably wont be acceptable in the advanced because whomever organizes has the luxury of watching someone do it before them and take the good stuff and leave out the mistakes..its alot eazyer to know where you going when you been there once or twice before [;)] we were the test monkies in space lol.. Ron i wish you had stoped, taken a second before you made that post and take a look around you, look at the new posts and new threads, think of the effort that was put in ( for weeks both Michelob and myself went way our of our way, for weeks now, organizing, planing, pming judges,asking judges, reminding judges.. chasing prizes, not just a couple of days).. balance out in your head the benefit of your comment....vs what was achived, all you have to do is take a look around you to see that.. but i know you didnt mean it as harshly as Michelob seems to have taken it, i just wish that you took a second and analyzed what good can come out of it thats all Michelob is not used to your bluntness.. I hope you explain that...atleast to him You did great Michelob, thank you very much, i appreciated you help so so much ! dont you take the blame lol...if anyone deserves the blame it was me [:)] I am sorry i was out when this was happening or i would have jumped right in and taken all the blame, spare you whatever you might have had to read that upset you..? rons critique was directed am me amigo, you were just helping me out, i accept full responserliberty [:D] honest ... you were absoluteley spot on everytime, u have more then exceeded you duties by 150%, thank you amigo and ofcourse thank you Irene. I would be heartborken if you left.. Also whomever questioned Michelobs dedication ( if anyone?) should be aware that he is the silent sponsor that out of the kindness of his heart donated..the Cejilas and postage...for the winner of Beginner and Intermediate and Advanced, before anyone else donated anything..and for absoluteley no benefit to himself since he inssisted that he didnt wanna be credited for it.. about $80 each plus postage thats around $300 ..thats generosity in its finest and purest form..and again it wasent to score points with anyone...he inssisted i didnt tell anyone it was him for Absoluteley no reason but to see you all happy, he inspired me to do this challenge better than i ever would have without him I am sorry i know you didnt want me to tell people but i felt it needed to be said ...under the circumstances At the end of the day what really happened ? one or 2 judges werent sure if they were judging..they were all informed about 10 times that they are judging the intermediate and the beginner..including at the very end of the intermediate scores thread...only about 2 or 3 days before this was uploaded..i didnt have time to send everysingle one another pm ..figured 2 or 3 days is not that long to remember..and most did and the scores went up a few hours late...so what, big deal, this is not the olimpics, some things came up ...it happens.. Congratulation to the members taking part..well done, all of you...thank you to the judges, speciall thank you to Jason and Michelob Congratulations ALex and Aleksi [;)] Alex...that was a beautiful speach amigo..you are a true gentleman and champion, your humbleness is an inspiration to me on a personal level... OLE TO YOU all of you were absoluteley great, good sports, encouraging to eachother, humble, and just a pleasure to watch the way you interact with eachother..you have all brought with you the nice fresh new athomsphere and attitude this forum should stride allways for..you are a great addition when it comes to the way u interact with eachother and encourage and lift eachother...as far as i am concerned you guys are the advanced...and I and perhaps few others ? will sitt and learn from you [;)] thank you
