Yeah Im game. Like I said ask the Poles. We did, they opposed. So the new point system should apply to DPCO III. Then you can all just hope the Poles are having a really, really bad week. Then we can pick on the Icelanders and the aussies!! =^)

Wot Kim said and will add if we change the rules enough the UK might win (ie if your not UK born you can't enter)

We should definitely keep the rules and point system intact. I have never heard of any contest or sporting event where they change the scoring system part way through, especially just because one team is ahead a quarter of the way through the season.

In Olympics I, team Iceland beat the crap out of everyone, and no one complained about the scoring system -- rather we respected them (and envied them). If team Poland can maintain their high standards for the next 6 weeks, then they deserve to win without people trying to take it away from them by changing the rules. On the other hand, if/when they flounder, then some other team can feel good about getting to the top without there being some sort of asterisk related to rule changes being attached to their victory.

I'm in total agreement with my fellow Aussie... don't tamper with the rules/points after the competition has begun. To be perfectly honest, I'm not even in favour of changing them for DPCO III, but we can fight that battle when we need to cross that bridge (to mix my metaphors). :)

I dont think the complaint had anything to do with Poland winning. It is more geared at having a tighter more thrilling competition.

Agreed... All teams have been putting in great work. To somehow say that there was another reason the winning team might take it is wrong.

i think that it is rather an naughty to try and change it now, this was discussed earlier on and if you want to do it your way with your point system then you have to set up the side challenges the way it is. This rather throws puke into the face of the people that organized it in the first place.,

Are you talking to me?

I'm sure she meant the ones who want to change it now.. We all appreciate your dedication to the point system no matter how it's set up !!! And, I thank you for your williness to make the changes if everyone agreed upon them.. :-)

I thought this was settled and we were going after the Aussies! =^D

Everyone knows that Juliet and DD rock (and anyone i missed who had a hand in this challenge)! I mean seriously, this is a great side challenge and i dont think any of us are questioning the people who are / were hard at work on it. Look at Juliet and the Greek team or the weekly scores from DD. Long story, short:

All your hard work is very much appreciated by both participants and voyeurs. even the puke and scoring systems. =^)
