Bot Contest

Oops! You're quite right, I guess my browser had cached the voting page - when I refresh, I see the voting *has* ended (that's funny though - I thought it was the end of the month, but maybe there's timezone weirdness going on.)

Oh well - we'll be getting our emails any time now then

Yeah, thanks, I hope so, since I don't want to be disqualified because of not being able to vote a botmaster.

I'm afraid of this too If anyone gets an e-mail, please let us know...

I also hope that my e-mail account doesn't have any problems during the period we are allowed to vote...

It is after the posting of the 10 questions results, not popular vote, if I remember. The 10 question results are how you get into the finals. Then the added ones that the participating botmakers choose.

and I still make it April (but then Wales has always been a bit behind the times.)
I really wouldn't panic, guys.
I know there was a bit of a spat last year, but you'll get plenty of time to get your vote in, believe me. They're not going to go springing it on us - check your email daily and you're fine (but remember to check your spam folder.)

At some point in May, you'll get the email.
And you will have several days, at least, to respond.
Period.

There really is no cause to panic.

The results of the jury voting are available on the Chatterbox Challenge site.

Hmm... It seems like Artemis wasn't judged at all, since there is no transcript... Maybe the bot's site was down during the judging? What could be the explanation for this?

Not even made it near the finals! Poof!.........., dissapears in the foggy distance....

The e-mails have been sent out. In case you didn't receive one here it is. Congratulation to the PF bots making the finals. However, it's not over yet. You still have a chance with the botmaster vote and the judges will be selecting 1 additional bot.

NOTE - Do Not Vote for the top 9 bots. They have already made the finals.

Concerning Artemis and other downloadable bots, learning bots, etc....unfortunately they don't have any chance of answering the 10 questions as well as the web based bots that have entered. Hoepfully next year we can have the resources to judge the learning bots as a seperate group.

Congrats to all who made the top 9!!
