    This thread was released publically in UCPSB but has not been here? I couldn't find it by searching.

    I really think if we want competitions like this in future, we need a very good turn-in rate for this one. Jetpens was willing to give prizes for 23 people, so I guess this means they are expecting like 50+ submissions? Let's not let them down.

    We need to get this competition advertised. It's for all spinners from all boards right?
