Advice, Please!

We've gotten our login code for voting in our regionals, and I am surprised at the lack of info and response from Autodesk on voting protocol.
I think that downloading for us is not such a big deal, since there are only 9 films competing in our regionals, but it is just goofy to expect every team to do this in order to view each animation. Autodesk should definitely warehouse the streaming videos (low-res version) on their site. Next year, they should require both hi and low-band versions of each movie to be submitted.

Okay, mostly finished griping; here's my question:

Autodesk WAS very clear about the rules of the AVA competition, but now that voting is imminent, they have disappeared. I'm just not sure how we (as peers voting in the 1st round of regionals) are supposed to tackle entries that may not meet the competition criteria. In our regional there are a couple of movies that came in after deadline, or that don't have a slate, etc.....

What is our graciously professional take on this? I told my team that I don't want to vote for a movie only to find out that it was disqualified by the judges in the next round. On the other hand, I really don't want to vet the entries; that shouldn't be our job.

I've sent a couple of emails to Autodesk peeps, but haven't gotten a reply yet....what do YOU think?
