That is because "clarifications" have been added. And some rules were added because originally we felt some flexibility would be a good thing. However, we soon saw that people just did not "get" it. The skill and knowledge levels of the contestants were SO varying, that we had to modify the rules so the less knowledgeable would not be left behind.

Nowhere in the official rules does it state you MUST have a check box. Is was a recommendation (a strong one, yes, but not an official rule).
And what types will be offered has already been answered. As stated earlier, not reading what was already written is insulting.

Again, it was never in the rules. It was a suggestion, and many people asked for better pictures that they could use... so Tom provided them.

Yes it matters! If you can show me some software that allows you to produce a graphic image that is not matted in a square (or rectangle) format, I would be most delighted to see it.
Now, if you mean the design ON the panels being oval, sure, that is fine. You can make the "design" any shape you want, as long as it fits within the exact panel dimensions provided in the official rules. The actual printing will be done on the exact dimensions as stated, and NO cutting of the insert will be done (aside from standard trimming). It will only be bent.

Look guys, this is NOT about pre approving your entries. It is also not if WE understand what YOU are doing... it is about if YOU understand OUR rules and requirements. The contest has been running for 2 weeks. Most questions were answered in the FIRST week. Please read all the posts. Every one of your questions was already answered (minus the oval one... but you could have answered that one yourself with a little thinking.).
Most other contest would have just said "Go look at the rules"... and if you still did not get it, so be it. I have not taken that approach with this contest so that as many of you could enter as possible. I hope you understand that.
Once again, I will BEG of you all... PLEASE READ THE RULES AND THE Q&A THREADS. I do help answer questions, but this was not designed to be a hand holding event.
TWO MORE DAYS!
Thanks
