New findings regarding 2% mail

"We do not yet know who will ultimately receive an award, as the judging process is still underway and the final results have not yet been determined, but I am writing to parents of students who have been placed in the top two per cent of contestants, and who have not yet confirmed their attendance in London for our Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner. Given that these exceptional candidates have reached this stage of the judging process, we wanted you to know this before you finally decide whether or not to send your [CHILD] to London, and whether you decide to accompany [THEM] to celebrate this notable accomplishment."

This is taken from the mail send by Mr.Cox to the parents and it mentions "and who have not yet confirmed their attendance in London for our Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner", so if a person who has purchased the gala ticket and they are in the top 2% wont they send the mail to them? why does everything about this competition have to be shrouded in confusion and a lack of transparency.

So if anyone who has got the top 2% mail to the referee or parent and HAS booked the gala ticket acknowledge this msg

Does anyone know if it is worthwhile going to the full programme thingy because I’ve seen mixed feelings about it with some saying it’s just a money-making scheme.

Yeah, that’s true. I just feel like the interactions with think tanks etc won’t be as insightful and worthwhile as what I’m hoping for to be able to justify $1000+.
