Thanks guys for your viewpoints, encouragement and coaching. I kind of figured going into this thing that my plan was too complicated for them but I went ahead with it anyways. 20/20 hindsight. I doubt I'll submit anything again. I did it once and that was enough to fill in the checkbox of things I've always wanted to do. Kevin makes some good points about what the judges look for as times change. The big thing I learned from all of this seems to be that I enjoy planning and drawing the plans as much if not more than actually building them!
