I'm actually surprised they mailed out any of the scoresheets. They told us at the awards ceremony that all the scoresheets would be destroyed that were not picked up. And that everyone would be getting the scanned copies of their sheets sent to them.

So apparently the universe just doesn't want me to ever see my scoresheets. After finally hearing from the registrar yesterday, he said he could email me the sheets yesterday evening. Well, it never happened. CAN A GUY JUST SEE HIS DAMN SCORE SHEETS PLEASE?!?!

*BTW, for those of you waiting to see the honorable mentions, they are up on the website finally

The honorable mentions are up but I don't think they are complete. I had a 40 in category 3. According to the contest rules anything over 38 should be an HM. There are no HM for cat 3. The only category without any.

Yeah, someone clearly does not have their sh*t together. The message from the club that notified the results were up online said "We apologize to anyone who was missed, if you scored 38 or above you got an honorable mention" - as if they knew that the list wasn't complete or accurate, but don't want to bother to fix it. You know, a big part of an "honorable mention" is the MENTION part. I know we're all supposed to bow down and just be thankful that they put on the competition, but this is pretty shoddy. It's not as if they put on the competition to do us a favor - they did it because they wanted to. If you want to run a competition, have some pride and do it right (and finish the job - just because judging is over doesn't mean you are done). I guess it goes without saying that I am still waiting for the scoresheets that were supposedly getting emailed to me 2 days ago. And who knows where my medals are. This is PATHETIC.

My initial reason for entering was just to get feedback, which I got. But I told alot of people that I was entering and then told them to I did well and that the results including my honorable mention would be on the website. I cant see how they could go through each group, and create a list of the winners and not pull out all the scores above 38 at the same time. There were only 20 entries in my category. I understand that things happen in a event this large, but what really ticks me off is that I have emailed them numerous times, and never even got back a response at all. Nothing.

I also had an HM in category 2 (scored a 39) that was left off the list. That sucks.

It can't be that easy to keep all of that information in order, especially after drinking all of that beer!

I finally heard back to my email.

This was his response.

"Due to some inexperienced stewards and some errors made by them a few HM have been missed. I spent every night for a week trying to fix any errors but due to the 1000 plus entries I had to go through it was a very difficult task and a few HMs did get missed. We apologize for any oversight. Yes anyone scoring a 38 or higher is an HM as stated in the rules and on our website. "

My translation of this is.... "After we figured out the winners someone tossed the sheets for a few categories."

To me it just seem that they dont want to take the time to fix it. They emailed all the non winners sheet so they have the scanned version.

At a bare minimum they should investigate a specific problem when someone emails them.

Exactly. I understand it takes some time to look through 1000+ entries, but you emailed them with a specific entry that received a score higher than 38. They should get off their a$$ and post it. Like I said before, it's not an honorable mention without the MENTION part. I know everyone wants to be all cool and pretend it doesn't matter to them - but you worked hard for that honorable mention, and you should get it. BTW, I finally got my scoresheets yesterday (after sending yet another reminder email), and it turns out I got two other scores over 38, neither of which is listed among the honorable mentions. Not a huge deal, but like a wise man once said, "anything worth doing is worth doing right". They should go through the entries again and make things right.

I agree that they should fix all of their errors. And I want to know why the HM's stop at category 21? Where is 22 and my 38 HM in 23? I have my own saying: If you don't have the time to do it right, how will you have the time to do it over?
