Its a freeking computer program. The results could be posted the next day. Its not a difficult thing to do. Excel would be a simple choice.
We are required to enter on a computer program. That same program is a data base. Data Bases don't require months to assimilate information from people that entered. Post the dammed thing the day after the entry closes.
If they need help doing this, I'd be more than happy to help. Free.
EXACTLY! How hard is it? I heard some stories years ago about some of the shenanigans that took place AFTER the deadline and the computer had picked the lucky entrants. I hoped they weren't true then, and aren't true now.
