Great post... a pleasure to read, as always! I've been following for a while, and imagine I'll continue to. This 'decoder' for the contest grading criteria was exactly the information I needed to take first place in every WOTW contest I enter from now on. Fortunately for everyone, my work season has started, so I probably won't be entering for a few months.

In the meantime, I'll be checking out the competition, and using some of the POB voting power that calumam and the community were sweet enough to bestow on me. I was happy to give this a full upvote, even though you'd already earned quite a wad for this post with just 46 votes. Well deserved, I say, thank you!
