Thanks very much for this clarification. I suppose the only remaining question is if our APK and readme file are made available strictly to the 3 or 4 judges who already performed the testing, or if every judge can now access them (even those who didn't originally test the app).
This is important to know so that we can decide whether or not to leave our servers up for potential new testers! Cheers, Michael On May 9, 6:31 pm, "David M.
