I heard a story about the UH60 competition once (way before my time). The Boeing entry supposedly was missing about 400 lbs from the required spec weight for HOGE. Their smart people analyzed the Sikorsky design and decided they missed it too, by about 400 lbs. So, if both companies failed that point, it wouldn't count against either one of them. They missed the canted tail rotor, and about 400 lbs of thrust in their analysis. Whoops!
