What competition was this, Bors?  I have never seen or entered one where
that much documentation was required -- I'm surprised anyone entered.

I've been a Laurel for over 11 years now, and was pretty conversant with
what they wanted by way of documentation prior to that.  The standard of
the Laurels I ran around with (and my own even now) is that 1 page would
be great, 1 1/2 or 2 with bibliography.  Judges generally don't have time
to read more than 3 pages of documentation and prefer it to be more
concise.

In fact, for awhile there, a lot of competitions weren't even requiring it
because people were so scared of it.

Could this have been an event-specific requirement?
