I usually look through them all before I start voting, and when I go back a second time I do sometimes miss a match or two. Not intentional. It doesn't explain a 100 vote discrepancy though ;)
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Hm, I usually pay attention to really see all matches at least out of curiosity for the entries and voting while lingering there seem to be easy ... maybe just for me. Not saying that deciding is easy ... just voting. ;)

thanks for the views

I feel everyone who enters deserves at least a little of my time and I always try to vote in every match.

With so many pics out of focus in the first two rounds I think it's time to once again recommend reading the "Thoughts on how to succeed in the LPL..." by Captain Blood:

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=29564.0

And there are lots of easy photo tutorials on the net:

https://www.google.de/search?q=photograph+miniatures&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=MsAzVaqBOILUao63gLgI

You invest so much time painting your miniatures, why not investing some minutes to get the most out of them in your pics? I for my part will not vote at all if pics are out of focus or the figures are so far away you won't see anything ...

Yes, rightly or wrongly, the LPL is about being able to take a good, clear picture, as well as painting your figures nicely :)

Now that round 1 is done and dusted and round 2 is underway, may I take this opportunity to remind all contestants that you need to submit entries for round 4 by 12.00 GMT on  - Friday 1st May.
Which is not that far away :)

Remember, if you do not submit a new team for any given round, your preceding team will automatically carry forward to the subsequent round - unless you specify otherwise.

Is it allowed to show pix from the LPL in the not public area at my local club forum when the round it was used in is over? In this case round 1 or shall I wait until the end of LPL as a whole?

thanks in advance

oh, my ... this time nearly all entries were "tough decisions", can't believe it.  o_o And the easy ones were somewhat close, too.

Concratulations to all my fellow combatants! Great, great entries and matches. Hut ab!  :-*

I was just considering this as I noticed the large number of duplicate entries from last week. Is there some sort of penalty for this? Shouldn't there be? If not, what would prevent someone from painting up one really kick-ass entry and winning the whole thing with that same entry week after week.

I'm not really complaining, really. I just have this need to be constantly entertained with new things.

Thanks.

As this is round three, and everybody had to deliver three different entries from the start, there couldn't be any "duplicate entries from last week". Are there any?

To answer your main question: there is no penalty for entering with the same pic every week. But experience has shown that the voting public here is very used to get something new from everybody week after week. You could probably win two, if you're very lucky three times with the same very good entry, but that's it.
