I agree and disagree.

Ssigs deserves every chance to submit his article, and have the same amount of time as everyone else.

I disagree with deducting points from his score for being late. As a matter of fact, I STRONGLY disagree. If Mike had not changed the format of the site, Ssigman would have known his topic and all would be well. I say each judge kicks Mike in the junk one time instead of deducting from Ssig's score.

I feel SO strongly about this, that if it holds, I'll judge Ssig 3 points higher than I normally would have, just to make up for the difference.
