B9(c) - Indirect human power of team members of the email network server: Team members are allowed to be in the internet area while emails are being transported for score and are also allowed to provide indirect power to the system. However, the team members must not touch the emails or provide direct power in any other manner to transport the required emails for score. To count as being indirect power there must be something that transfers the human energy before assisting the transportation of an email.

Clarification #4 & B11 - The work of art attachment: The work of art attachment must be tangible. Therefore a team using a smartphone or similar technical device to project an image is eligible for score if the smartphone or similar device displays the image as the work of art during the transportation of that email. If the image is not displayed then the judges would score the smartphone or similar device as the work of art.

B9(e) The three requirements of the emails - return receipt, work of art attachment, and being delivered to an offbeat location: The criteria to be met in B9(e)1, 2,and 3 are to be met with three separate emails. That is, the email with the scored return receipt must be different from the email with the scored work of art attachment and these must both be different from the email that is required for being diverted to an offbeat location. Each email may have multiple components as listed in B9(e) but only one component per email will be scored. These three required emails must be delivered to three different physical locations in the Delivery Area.
