On the contest page you'll find something like this:
This contest is currently in judging mode. The contest ended 1 day ago. The contest holder has 6 days to select a winner The contest holder has received 0 reminder emails to a select a winner
or this
The contest holder has received a final notice about selecting a winner, and a LogoTournament administrator could select a winner at any time.
The contest holder has received 0 reminder emails to a select a winner.
I don't think that last part is working (0 reminder e-mails)
There are still some polishing to do and some kinks to work out. Once we have this finished off it should help inform designers of the status, and hopefully motivate the CHs a little more.
One question: i remember prior to the changes that a CH would get a daily email reminder by LT that the contest is over and they need to make a decision. Now with the new - and great - reminders on the contest page i noticed that in all cases it says
"The contest holder has received 0 reminder emails to a select a winner"
Why is that? is it because once the 7 days are over the administration automatically ends the contest themselves or are the reminders send out once the 7 days are up? That wouldn't really be much of use if the deadline is kept to 7 days though right?
egg i would assume the daily reminder emails are still going out but haven't yet been hooked up to this new feature:

Hi Egg -- the CHs are still receiving the reminders as before, however there is a glitch and it's not being reported properly on the contest page. So even if it says 0, that's not the truth.
