Nothing has been solved re last year, entries missing and blatant cheating by DP and BH
Either a group of people need to take the bull by the horns and arrange it properly, or leave it.

Chaos I think those things have been addressed by Mack
entries missing - firm deadline on entries, any received after that date won't be included. The only ones I'm aware anyone was missing were those that had to be handed out later which not everyone got. I agree having a firm deadline with no exceptions will avoid this issue as all samples will be in before any packs go out. I'm unaware of any other issues that were had that this wouldn't resolve but please correct me if I'm wrong.
people cheating - no one can vote for their own entry, other than that I'm not sure what can be done. We need to be able to rely on the judges to be honest and I don't think there is much anyone organising it can do to ensure this. Personally was not aware of the accusations of cheating and this saddens me.
I think the only suggestion I have is to perhaps go with the grower bagging their own entries before sending. It seems a large amount of the work load is a rush to get entries bagged up as they arrive. Having a firm deadline will help this I'm sure but it's still a mamouth task.

Mellofello, I did not see that, but I hope it is true.
The cheating issue blew up as it had skewed the entire results, not just voting up their own entries, but also downvoting rivals and attempting to influence votes as well. Nothing whatsoever has actually been done about it AFAIK.
The grower/entrant pre bagging has 2 sides. When I helped out, we opened some incredible entries, Moscaś spring to mind, they were great when they arrived, but once they had been weighed and transfered into 1g baggies, not...when I opened something that I knew was fantastic 2 days before, it was underwhelming... when I knew it was not... Entries loose smell, taste, quality being opened, separated, weighed, bagged. Also, the organisers have an incredible amount of work to do, and about 75% of that is splitting/bagging... if the entrants do this before, the work is reduced massively and the whole job is less of an ordeal...
"The cheating issue blew up as it had skewed the entire results, not just voting up their own entries, but also downvoting rivals and attempting to influence votes as well. Nothing whatsoever has actually been done about it AFAIK." Not the first time this has happened either with the scoring. IMO people should be disqualified for that sort of thing.
What we need is 5 or 10 of us to get together to form a group to run it properly, not to just expect a very hard working OP to have everything sorted out for us, or that there is an invisible council that is somehow "running" the show, that way something positive will happen, and for the best of the 420 cup
I second that motion
33g entry, separated into 1g baggies

nice to see everyone getting into the mood, i'm all for having more volunteers helping out, it's just that the pack makers can't vote, so that stops some folks wanting to help that are good and organized workers. i needed a break from it last year, but be glad to help out with organizing things this time. we now know what to look out for in terms of the naming differences in the system so no self votes can be made, will also ask Skip to make it so we can add multiple entrant names if 2 peeps work together and both are judging as for the scoring, i think we should reduce the score from 1 to 10, to 1 to 5, that way there can't be such big disparity between scoring standards. further more it will be clearly written no self votes and the vote results will be checked carefully before announcing them to the public.
Nice one Gaius
Anybody who wants to help or have input into what and how we do it, please speak up, get in contact with GM, some of what we talk about needs to be out of public view for security... So, please, no matter if it is help before with the rules/structure, or during the cup with organising Judges Packs and herding the cats, pipe up now
