how much leeway on log word lengths? (1 Viewer)

[Mustafa Mond]

How much leeway do you think the markers will give on the length of the log? Mine is about 100 words over, do you think that will be alright or will I have to do a quick edit to get it below the 500 word limit?

from what i've heard they are really strict on the word counts.....if what i've been told is correct i would do a quick edit to get your word count down to 500.

the thing is, they have no acurate way of telling if you're over or not. if they suspect a certain PIP is over the word limit, and they'll only suspect if it's way over, they do a manual word count - counting how many words in a few lines and multiplying it out, not accurate at all.
