Hi Speling..


as we talked about yesterday, I really must stress that the models should be uploaded.. in my opinion it's the only way to judge them properly.. I think it's also the only way that everybody can learn from them!!


Also, might I suggest that the number of point for each catagory be increased from 0-3 to 0-10? the reason for this is that 1-bad- 2-good -3-v.good - but nbothing inbetween.. maybe a slightly finer scale could be added?


Along the same lines, you could break down the catagories into sub catagories.. e.g modeling could be 3 for model complexity, 3 for technique/ease of modificatio, 3 for ease of othes to understand the model (how it's layed out in the model tree) and 1 for discressionary... or something like this..


it's only a suggestion - to try and make the judging more fair accross the board!


I would definately not aggree with 4 above(asm should be allowed)


I've more to add but have a bit of work to do!
