The stewards’ mailbox takes three kinds of post: corrections to a citation, notes that an offer has changed or expired, and questions about how a figure was costed. The ceremony’s favourite post is the first kind, because a reader with a dated copy of the terms and a disagreement is the only quality control the judging year really needs. Corrections run against the operator’s own pages, and the term wins where the citation and the roll disagree.

The rostrum answers in the order the post arrives, commonly within a few working days, and every answer carries its date. Partnership and advertising queries are read too; the answer repeats the site’s standing line, that marks and order come from the judges’ arithmetic and no commercial arrangement moves them. The entrant’s sheet stays in the entrant’s hands at all times.
