I think it's more positive to describe the judging process in terms of adding points to a score, and competing as taking advantage of opportunities to score points, than it is to talk about losing points. But in all my years I've never heard of a system where points can actually be lost from an initial number of them. Yours does seem workable, I just never thought of it that way. -- Carolyn Kayta Barrows -- Blank paper is God's way of saying it ain't so easy being God. -- _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
