Each set comprises three samples with mineral mixtures commonly found in clay bearing rocks or soils. All 90 sets of samples will be distributed in the order of registration. The deadline for submission of the results is May 21, 2010. The top three contestants with the most accurate results will be announced at the 2010-Trilateral Meeting on Clays, Seville 6-10th June 2010. Only the names of the top three contestants will be published. The names of the other participants will remain confidential. The competition is open to anyone interested in quantitative mineral analysis. Because of the popularity of the Reynolds Cup and the enormous amount of work put into its preparation, potential participants are strongly encouraged to plan ahead and only request samples if they are sure they can complete the analysis and return results to the organizers by the due date. Those who request samples and do not send in results or return the samples unopened WELL BEFORE the due date will not be eligible to participate in future Reynolds Cups. A waiting list will be kept to offer returned samples to other potential participants. To ensure an even wider exposure, we encourage you to forward this announcement to your national mailing lists and mineralogy associations & to colleagues and friends who might be interested in participating. We are looking forward to your participation! Sincerely, Steve Hillier – Helen Pendlowski- the Reynolds Cup 2010 organizers
