It isn\'t meant to happen. Seth Nash (Capt Spalding) and Matt Parkes did it once a while back and got severely told off for it apparently!
The problem is that when judging is going on they have no clue who has entered the things they are looking at (well that\'s not strictly true, a lot of the time they were recognising people\'s styles but they hadn\'t actually been told so and so did this model) so it is only after judging has been completed and the ticket numbers cross referenced with the list of entrants that anyone would have discovered that they are joint entries. By that time it would be too late to do anything about it other than banning the winning people who had teamed up, so it is an akward situation.
In future perhaps someone not involved in final judging could check the names of the people making final cut, but that\'s a big task!
Sorry I didn\'t realise who you were at the time Avelorn and sorry that the pictures didn\'t come out too well (down to my less stable than they should be hands by any chance?). It was a really subtle model though too, so I guess that is going to mean that in the awful NEC lights it wouldn\'t show that well. Congrats on placing in one of the toughest cattegories too!
Next year I will be entering along with everybody else, so I should be able to say hello to everyone from here. I\'m looking forward to it already!
