Well here we are at the end of the UTC New England Regional- Heres What happened. Thanks to all the feedback that I go from last weekends competitions, I contacted the UTC coordinator for the Regional- ahead of time. She was able to move the Judging from the PIT where it was planned to be to a Quiet location in the Hall way to the back room where the VIP's/Judges hung out. Yes it was a Hallway, but the location was limited on space and it was quieter than the PIT would have been- So i'll take it!

The Autodesk Rep didnt show up till 11am on Friday so there was no previewing of the animations on thurs (as the rules stated-from what I remember)

They told us they changed the rule to allow three people judge the animations from each team but they had to collaberate on the one ballot.

Then they played the animations which went one after the other with no collaberation time allowed. So When they were getting ready to kick the teams out for the next 2-teams to come in and judge, I convinced them that it would be better to allow them to sit on the side and view the animations again so that they could score them properly. (The Rep Agreed)

Then I had arranged for the runnerups to be announced, but at the last minute it was pulled from the awards list because the Autodesk Rep told them that the runneruops werent being sent to the championships for judging. Now the rules I read stated clearly that tis was the case- so this is a case of Autodesk Reps not representing what autodesk actually is doing (or what they said they would do, Or maybe they dont know either)

So- The UTC Regional experience was great- Autodesk just screwed up the rest of it. The animations were later played continuously for the rest of friday and all of sat, at the PIT admin table, next to where the scores/rankings were being displayed- this seemed odd at first but became very visable and everyon got a chance to see them.

Thanks to all of you for you comments- If your regional hasnt happened yet, please try to make a difference ahead of time. Hopfully they will listen to you as well.
