Roll Call of Champions
January 8, 2001 - December 9, 1999
I thought we might add a list of the current champions from the
big contests but if someone from a smaller contest would like to have it
added just send an email.
Some competitions have been dropped due to their inactivity for two
years in a row and are now considered defunct. But so that we don't
completely lose sight of those competitions that have helped to bring awareness
to the sport I will soon be adding a new feature called "A History Of
Champions."
Lastly I'd like to apologize for some recent mistakes that I made, try
as I might I'm still not perfect;)
