We appreciate everyone’s patience in waiting for the scores to be tallied.
 
What happened?
 
Well, we learned a valuable lesson this first trip.  Eleven teams vying for internet connectivity and loads of bandwidth at the same time from a small hotel’s even smaller wi-fi capacity, is not gonna work!  So, after the second night of teams being frustrated and blurry-eyed deep into the evening, we made an executive decision to delay video uploading until teams got back to the States on Monday.  
 
Some teams were a little slower than others uploading their remaining videos, and our judges were only expecting to be available through end of last week.  So, those two issues resulted in Thursday night, not Monday night to announce our final audited judging results.
 
For upcoming trips, teams will have NO uploading responsibility, they will simply load their videos onto portable memory devices (like an SD card or thumbdrive), hand them to our tour escort, who will deal with any technical snafus with uploading, while teams can enjoy their evenings blissfully unaware or uncaring of the uploading process….as it should be!!
  

Withour further ado, here are the standings:
