You won't drop out of the competition if you don't submit a design document, you'll just misout on the points.

But... since, from the sounds of it, you will have a document then as it's my fault you won't be able to upload it on time, then if no-one objects I would suggest you send the file to me, clearly marked with your team name and STAGE1Submission. Include PGD2009 in the email subject header.

I'll upload them (I may have to change your account passwords) as soon as the submission system is done. The same goes for anyone else who may miss this deadline because of vacation etc. and the system not being available now. Send your submissions to me and I will upload them.

The problem won't recurr because it is my plan to get the submission system online ASAP.
