Also, some of you hold to facts in your mind, as opposed to facts in reality and unfortunately this is precisely what caused this problem in the first place. I strongly urge you to read over the AMA's description of the Contest Directors duties to educate yourself on this topic.
The last line of your original post - "I really don't know what to do and am asking people with more experience in these matters, how to handle this!"
You asked a "contentious" sort of question relating to one of the most challenging areas of event management....and only got 8 pages of blather in return. Not too bad. Perhaps you should have stopped by sooner to let everyone know what you thought of their replies; may have helped focus the discussion in a more helpful direction. Good luck to you.
