Well, can we at least stretch the point and allow the finishing touches 
to be made while a *passenger* in said hurtling conveyance? <gryn>

In the best of worlds (a nonesuch place often cited in this thread 
of discussion, I might note), yes, this advance notice plan might be 
the normal case. I think it perhaps should become standard when 
extensive research papers are the things being judged, and 
certainly *some* advance filings may become needed for certain 
types of event. (Example: Steppes Artisan *this* year had an 
advance-notice table reservation & limitation in place, loosely 
applied. I reserved a half-table, I used a half-table...)

Not as easy to accomplish the advance-submission guidelines
for many of the major body-of-work displays, but still 
something that might help on the morning of the competition. 

[frantic contest organizer: "Pardon me, Mistress Laurel Seamchecker, 
but do we have *anybody* coming to the event who can judge 
gold-plated whangdoodle construction, or proper collection 
techniques & display options for them?"]
