Barry, the reason for this is that some @#%$*'s in the past got into heated
(read NOT NICE) arguments with the judges. The judges felt that it was too
much of a hassle. By not telling the participants what the marks off were
there could be no more arguments. This whole policy is under review at
present. I mean - we are talking millions of dollars in prize money here!
;-). So if we all could be ladies and/or gentlemen and accept the judge's
rulings, the judges (volunteers all) might be willing to share their
findings.
