From here on out I find it entirely understandable, however with no prior warning it just seems downright mean.

That is why there is a team. And that is why there are members in a team who have been a part of BR before - to pass on THIS kind of information to each other.
We didn't have this problem last year. Everyone involved in BR II, new or old, sent me their own entry with their own links. Some of them even asked me through PMs (like Doc this year again), if they could do it using Paint tools. Many entries were scratched and dotted all over, showing the struggle of people who weren't versed with Imaging tools. But they did it. It wasn't a problem then. Naturally, I would presume everyone (or most members who have been a part of BR before) already knew this, and passed it on to their team members.
But you are right. I should have clarified this when posting the Challenge itself. I did mean to post the instructions also, but with the huge storm yesterday evening knocking out the electricity, the telephone and broadband from 6 PM till 2 AM in the night when all was restored and I was falling down on my chair half-asleep, it skipped my mind. I was struggling to stay awake, but I had promised to post the new Challenge by Noon EST in previous posts, so I had to stay awake to honor my promise to all of you.
(btw, the editing done the first time was because 2 films were not showing in the puzzle, MissM. Only 18 films were showing. I didn't notice it till I posted the Challenge. Had to hurry and add the other 2, then come back with the new image and edit the post. Thought nobody might have noticed it, but you did.)
Editing the original challenge at so late a time would have been unfair and mean, but not an additional post explaining it. Hence the reason why I haven't even started on the scoring yet. Doc sent me a second entry - I will count that as the valid one.
No action has been taken so far, and none will be taken.
