This is why I don't really feel that it should be left to us contestants to do the policing. I think FC has done an amazing job as host (the number and quality of sponsors he has secured is proof of that), but I don't really feel like he should leave these things until the crowd calls for blood, he should just be enforcing the rules that he set and made explicitly clear. That would take care of the whole issue of people having to worry about whether or not blowing the whistle will lose them votes in the end, and it would also take care of the issue of some rules being enforced and others being ignored until people make a fuss. I know they're not really the same thing, but it might be worth noting that an 18oz cup is ~13% over the size limit and results in DQ, and 2 days late is ~29% over the time limit. Granted, a larger cup gives more of an advantage than a late update, but they are both rules so I dunno... Personally I am a fan of all rules being enforced in the way they are written (As evidenced by my previous inquiry about the "Written on cup" rule allowing Labels as opposed to actual writing), if you enforce every rule the way it is written there is much less room for controversy, and I would think that would be in the best interest of everyone. I mean, I would assume that the sponsors want the rules to be followed, to give them a little assurance that they're indeed giving prizes to the top competitors, who are willing to put in the time and work and follow all the rules. Not for nothing, but in any other competition, especially with prizes like this on the line, MAKING the time to do things like update on time are kinda part of the deal, if you aren't willing and/or able to do that, that sucks, but you are an adult and you set your own priorities, and the people who DO make the sacrifices to keep the schedule shouldn't be punished for it by potentially losing out on a prize that winds up being claimed by someone for whom following the rules just wasn't convenient.

and you'll hopefully see about the need to update properly.
