In other words, this year we had three people write different parts of the essay. Since we didn't set an exact character limit for each person (the essay has to be 10,000 characters or less), the essay was 16,000 characters three days ago. This week was editing and revision, but I saved the character cutting for the last day.

So, today I chopped about 6,000 characters out of the essay.

I'll post our essay as a whitepaper tomorrow.
I have in my possesion our '94 Yearbook which we submitted as our Chairman's entry and won with. I'll probably find someplace to put it in our HOF (I;d kill to find our '92 gameboard entry).
It's amazing how much the award has changed. We still have to submit just to particiapte in the HOF and I was watching one of our students trying to submit everything. I couldn't believe how nitpicky the process is! How can any team submit anything of substance when they're more busy watching their word count? It's unbelivable!
