Build Something Competition 2023: Place of Worship

[Vanvlak]

Thanks to all for your patience and especially to those who replied so rapidly.

[Dr Mathias]

I'm fine with a reset. I wasn't aware voting had started 

[snitcythedog]

I am more than happy just posting my photos and having the competition go on.  It was my mistake.

Replied to the email, but happy to confirm here that I'm fine with the vote restarting

[pistolpete]

I agree. Would rather go against 2 than 5

[Mick_in_Switzerland]

No problem to restart

[has.been]

I have no problem with a restart.

[tomrommel1]

me neither

[Vanvlak]

Update: everyone said yes!
So we're back in business, except I have to reset all the polls.
Please be a bit patient whilst I restart, and randomize the entries again in groups of three.

[Mick_in_Switzerland]

Rather than random groups, it would make more sense to arrange like Wimbledon tennis tournament and use the first round to define seeds for the groups I.e. group 1 has 1st, 5th and 9th. Group 2 has 2nd, 6th and 10th etc.

Thank you everyone.  I would have been happy to post images of mine and watch the results for the other entries.

snitchy, no worries, resetting the voting gives everyone a level playing field.  Glad it worked out for you.

Question, though.  If there are 21 entries, why only 12 in the first round?  Maybe some rule I missed?  No big deal, just curious.

And, yes, lots of cool entries seen so far.

Sorry for my long absence - I was away for a break, away from email and stuff, and am now catching up.
In spite of the apparently low number of entries, I have 21 in my inbox, which is not bad at all!
Well done guys.
I hope to get the polls up in the weekend, you are in for a treat 
OK, big mistake in the number.... you might remember I used the 2022 email address to avoid setting a new one up each time; so I was counting both 2022 and 2023 entries!!! Where's the blushing emoji when you need it?
The only excuse I have is I had just finished dealing with a backlog of 237 work threads and was a bit woozy... 
We have 11 entries.

Not 21...15...11(now 12) Simples!

[snitcythedog]

Vanvlak accidentally counted entrees for both this year and last year.  I think it is only 11 or 12 this year. 
I should really learn to read all the responses to see if a question has been answered. 

[FifteensAway]

D'oh!  I guess I needed to read further, too.   

So, only twelve across the finish line?  Well, good luck to all of us. 

Life most certainly does get in the way - I had probably five weeks during the contest I was not able to touch my project.  Getting it done was more of a challenge than expected.  Biggest challenge?  The "honey-do" list by a mile!
