Cut and paste from ADA Newsletter:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[IAPLC 2013] Important announcement about the change of contest grading method.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Going back to the previous grading system!
In the last year's contest, a new evaluation method was introduced; it included the internet voting process as well as on-site popular voting by Nature Aquarium Party participants at the party. The reaction for the new system was remarkable and had mixed feelings. We've received many feedback and opinions about the new grading system from the contestants, ADA's distributors / registered retailers and contest supporters:

- No big surprise at the party because all top ranked layouts were already announced to the public before the party.
- The whole grading process took too long.
- It was such a big disappointment that the contest booklet wasn't available at the party.
- I'm not against the idea of adopting a voting system, but simply prefer the previous grading system.

With careful consideration of feedbacks like these, IAPLC 2013 Contest Steering Committee decided to go back to the previous grading system. There is still an issue of releasing images of top ranked layouts on internet by some contestants. We will try to prevent it by strongly requesting contestants not to reveal their layout photos before the party and pushing back the delivery date of the contest result. For a fair and clean contest process, we will definitely need cooperation and support from all contestants.
