Since anything taking more than two steps means I'm likely to forget something, I recently started a checklist to try and make sure nothing is forgotten in the transition from the open competition to the final tournament. I've now committed this to svn and it can be found as .
Please take a look and check if you see any needed steps not yet listed. Also I think I may be missing a few contest organizer's player accounts. These are needed to make sure their submissions are disabled before starting the final tournament.
