Thanks John. I agree with Whirly - this is very helpful feedback.
One comment which I made to David was that it would be nice to see a breakdown of the scores. It's all very well knowing which teams beat us, and looking through their logs, but even then I don't know which particular aspects they did particularly well on, and on which aspects we may have beaten them. This is particularly true when it comes to subjective areas, such as originality - Whirly's entry seemed, to me, to be especially original, and I'd guess that this was one area where her and Tricia scored particularly highly. But this is such a subjective area that I don't know whether the judges would agree. Still, having pointers like these from John can only help with next year's entry. (Oh dear, I think I may have just admited that I may be considering entering next year...)
