OK, animosity is high. I understand.
The rules were stated in the beginning and they will not change, even if you didn’t read them.
Nobody had to show the roots before hand, you chose to do it and that is fine. The rules clearly specify that the roots will have to be shown AT THE END (please read carefully) and not midways or nothing. I knew everyone would forget, but it was written on stone since one week before the contest started.
Please comply or your name will not be placed in the ballot for the voting round.
Official entries of the root ball MUST include a piece of paper with your username and the date, for everyone to feel a little bit better i will give you until Sunday to submit the official entry, which can only be one plant.
Thanks for participating and get your game face on!
