Thanks to Thilo and Toby for providing contest details to me. I have run the German text through the proverbial internet translator(s) (3 actually). I am impressed by the responsible and well thought out approach presented in the rules. I would like to pass them along to others contemplating organizing competitions in other parts of the world. I think these rules will set the trend for the future. Unfortunately, the internet translations are lacking as always.
I have reproduced the original German text below and one of the better translations. Help in cleaning up the translation by someone fluent in German would be very sincerely appreciated.
Thanks!
