we didn't pre-enter due to the fact we didn't know if we were going to make it.....but judging should have commenced as soon as the first car was parked and ready to be looked at (my 2 cents)

Yah, but the majority of people there *could* have pre-entered if they just got off their collective asses earlier :bonk:

Starting the judging as soon as the first car was parked would have consisted of starting the judging at 7:30am

Basically, I arrived at 8:30am (when we advertised that we would start taking entries) and there were already about 20 cars processed and parked in the field... WTF?!?!?! :chairshot

I then had to go through 100 entry forms, entering in the details of each car into our judging database. Even with Nick's help, this took about a minute per car. Then we needed to print off all the judging sheets, which took another 30 mins or so...

Then we had to find all the judges (surprisingly enough, they weren't as keen to get there at 4am like Wilch and Silver-GTSt were ) and brief them on the judging criteria and how to fill out the judging sheets.

Judging itself took about 3 hours, and then we needed to collate all the forms, and enter the results for each car, times 6 judges, for upto 4 catergories... This took about an hour.

Grouping the cars into make and model was one suggestion made (e.g. Grouping all the R31s at one end and all the R34 GTRs at the other end). Although this would speed up the judging IMMENSELY, it would see a very biased spread of spectators methinks... Some cars will get a much reduced walk-through rate if we segregated the field like this. I don't think this is a good idea.

If anyone has any other suggestions on how we could make this process faster, it would be much appreciated, as we (the organisers) would like to reduce the time taken to judge the cars as much as you guys do!!! :uh-huh:

Skylines are so 1995

I went around and took a few shots, but nowhere NEAR enough as I would have liked... Also, I forgot to recharge the batteries in my flash, so I'm not expecting any decent shots I'll go through them soon...
