Tree,

Somehow I can just picture your eyes alight in ecstasy
over the possibilities of skimmer log checking...

It will solve some problems and maybe create new ones.

What would prevent someone from going back and
changing their log based on the recording of the
contest?

Could you listen to the recording during breaks and
change your log?

Could these audio files be doctored to include uniques
that aren't real?

"Could" is most likely not the right word ;o)

Anyway, think you get my drift. Just something else to
ponder and maybe a design consideration for this type
software. Maybe some sort of time lock could be
incorporated to limit access until after the submittal
period? Then how would computer crashes or "gaps in
the tape" situations be adjudicated?

Ahhhh, the sweet smell of technology!

73,
Julius
