- Comps is one of the small departments so would be at a distinct disadvantage during any awards ceremony.
- The gap is usually 3 days.
- It was changed to the current system in 2010. Before that, there used to be only 9 competitions a month and they'd all last a month. Entries were around the 100 mark. The system which included the gap eventually resulted in a consistent 500 entries every month. This was changed by future management to cover the gap (their own choice) but entries started to decrease. I restored the gap in April (as I said due to personal preference) but entries are still low. Essentially, there is little evidence that gap/no gap has any significant impact on the success of the department and that other factors are more important.
