Maybe the final categories, number of entrants/aquascapes and prizes. If the info is published we could send a little note to APD and newsgroups directing them to the site. I don?t know how much info outside people have about how things are going." The front page of the web site was updated once the event closed for entries, and it does say that we had entries from all over the world, that they judges are now doing their "thing", and that final results will be announced on November 30th. I don't want to post specific numbers of entries in individual categories at this point in time, because the judges could always move entries from one category to another if they feel that something is mis-classified. Also, should any entrant bounce their entry fee check they are out of here and we won't know that for a while. I don't want to publish numbers until I'm pretty sure that this isn't going to happen (I'm not about to send a prize to someone who stiffs us for $5.00). I did post a note to the APD regarding the closing of the event. I'm nervous about the newsgroups...... I got a really nasty e-mail from a person accusing me of posting spam in the latter part of the pre-closure period. The newsgroups can wait until November 30th to hear more from me on this event.
