Ok - here is what happened:
When we got back from Richmond (at which time my understanding of the rules was that animation gets judged only at ONE regional - the one it was submitted to) we emailed autodesk explaining problems with artifacts on our animation and asking to re-submit our animation for Annapolis regional, since our team was going to attend it too. Autodesk agreed. What i did not realise until Thursday is that Annapolis was Eastern Conference, and not Southern, like I originally thought (our team went to both VCU and Chesapeake, which made me think they are in same Conference). We still wanted to participate since that was the only regional left in which our team was present and in which we could make sure that the real undistorted animation gets played, so to correct the mistake and be fair, we asked the autodesk representative to still allow us to participate in Annapolis, but to remove us from one of the regionals left in Southern Conference. As the result - we are being judged in 3 out of 4 Southern Conference regionals and 1 Eastern Conference regional. I am really sorry for the confusion created by my mistake.
By the way, since our animation placed 2nd in Annapolis, and we were already advanced to nationals from Richmond results, autodesk decided to advance 1st, 3rd and 4th animations from Annapolis, instead of top three.
