Here's the email with the finalists:
Subj: 2003 Loebner Prize Contest
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2003 11:46
2 +0100
From: L.Hamill@surrey.ac.uk
----------------------------------------------------------------
To: all entrants, all judges, and committee members and Hugh Loebner
We have now completed the preliminary judging and I am pleased to announce the finalists - in alphabetical order:
ALICE (by Rich Wallace, USA)
Elbot (by Fred Roberts, Germany)
Eugene Goostman (by Vladimir Veselov, USA)
Jabberwacky (by Rollo Carpenter, UK)
Jabberwock (by Juergen Pirner, Germany)
Lucy (by Saskia van der Elst, Mexico)
Markbot (by Mark Connell, USA)
Talk-Bot (by Chris Cowart, USA)
Reservists, in alphabetical order:
Alex (John Precedo, UK)
Gabber (Peter Neuendorffer, USA)
Ultra Hal (Robert Medeksza, USA)
Our commiserations to the other entrants who did not qualify for the finals. We received over 20 entries, and the standard was very good, but unfortunately we can only accommodate eight entries (plus two human confederates) in the finals so it was inevitable that many entrants would be disappointed. We hope that you will try again next year.
The entries were judged by eight judges, with each entry being assessed by at least three judges in accordance with the Official Rules. The judges ranged from students to retired people and included both men and women, located in the USA and the UK. The Chief Judge was Professor Nigel Gilbert, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the University of Surrey.
We need finalists' software installed on our host machines and working by 15 September. We will work with the finalists to install, debug and interface their software as required by the Official Rules. Since this is likely to be a long process, the sooner we receive the software the better. If any entry does not meet the 15 September deadline, a reserve will be called up to take its place. Please will reservists bear this date in mind.
Thank you for your cooperation, and we wish the finalists good luck in the 2003 Loebner Prize Contest!
Best wishes

What confuses me is the judging by eight judges when I don't have transcript records of eight judges. There may have been one or two unaccounted for transcripts in there - consisting of approximately 3 lines. When did this judging happen?
I didn't expect to win or make finals - but I checked every day for transcripts. Does anybody else have records?

I take that back - but only a little. I found one transcript from yesterday that was definitely a judge. Not three judges though (reading the email again)...
I checked every day too, and since many guests claim to be judges anyway, it's hard to tell who the real judges are.
I'm totally fine with the results. The whole point of the Personality Forge was to have fun and push the frontiers of AI. The contests are really a distraction from that, at least for me.
I am not sure what is going on with the chatterbot contest 2004 by zabzware but I want my bot taken off the list. I tried to find a remove button but there was none.
