I had a few minutes to spare (hard to believe!), so I went to OurStage to do some judging. I intended to judge for about 15 - 20 minutes. There is a new (late) entry into the "Tropical" channel, where I have a song in the Top Ten.

This new song came up 17 times in a row! I am not exagerating...17 times in a row. I quite judging a that point. I'm guessing that this is a "catch up" function. If so, I do not think that is fair. If you come in late, you should get no special treatment for "catching up".

It is my opinion that after the 5th day of the month, the contests should be closed to entries...or, if they are allowed, they suffer the consequences af entering late, no "catching up" proveleges.

I am trying very, very hard to keep a positive and supportive attitude to OurStage because they support JPF. Although I've not abandoned them, it seems that continued support is getting more difficult for me. I truly hope that they will make a few changes that will allow me to continue their support. I always try to support JPF partners, when possible.

I have sent a couple of emails (contact us) to them in recent days but have not receicved a reply. I'll wait and see what happens.
