BrickFair

Hi all, I'm sorry I didn't find this thread sooner. The issue was brought to my attention just yesterday, by multiple people (I presume from this board). I wrote to Scott yesterday, and he is very eager to straighten the situation out. I wish to explain to anyone reading this, and apologize to Scott. BrickFair is for the most past (I believe, like most other AFOL fests) a show-and-tell type event. Trophies are not the main feature. Most people would not consider the event to be a "competition." Registering MOCs to bring merely helps us plan table space, gets MOC cards printed, etc. There was nothing (until yesterday) in the MOC registration process that alerted a person they could be entered into a contest. Although the nominations, trophies and voting are supremely important to a small subset of attendees, most don't seem to think much about it. And that's what happened to Scott. I think it simply registered what he was bringing, and was surprised to find himself with a trophy. I did the same thing at Brickworld in Chicago a few years back; I won a trophy; hand't planned it nor tried for it, and was surprised. So anywho, Scott has asked to meet me tomorrow at our LUG meeting to return the trophy, and I will pass it to the 2nd-place winner at our show. And BrickFair's website has been updated, so every MOC registered includes the choice to opt-in for competition (and lists reasons you might be ineligible). Thank you, Todd Webb BrickFair
