[AGA-Contest] The Biotope Problem Continues (93)

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Hi folks,

Keep in mind that the official final tally will probably be 3-5 less than 
this unofficial running number, but still... two days left to go, the 
slackers still haven't checked in, AND still no Senske package.  Folks, I 
think we're going to go over 100 this time. :)

OK, now the bad news, and my topic for today:  There have been four 
biotope entries, and it's my opinion that three should all be tossed out 
of the category.  One of them the entrant confused "Nature Aquarium" with 
"Biotope", one uses appropriate plants for a particular continent but 
doesn't attempt to duplicate a natural setting, and one of them I'm not 
sure WHAT it's trying to do at all.  A fourth entry might actually be 
really good, but I need to pour through Kasselmann and Baensch to verify 
the species and such.

Question: What do you guys think of bringing in a couple of people/judges 
to pre-screen these entries on the 16th before the general judging starts? 
I'm a little shaky deciding to do this on my own.  Maybe Karen & Phil?

  - Erik
