SEO Contest 301 redirect not acceptable

[temi]

Dear SEO 2008 Contestants,
Please note that if you use 301 redirect to forward an existing site to your SEOContest2008 page or site, this mean you are using an old site, this is not allowed.
As we said in the contest rules, you need to use a new site or folder with no previous back links.

Thanks

Hi Temi, did you mean not?

Thanks for clearing the rules. I will comply asap.

Benj,
Thanks pointing that error out, I mean, not

[BenjArriola]

Ok, now complied. Although there are probably some DNS propagation delays so you may either see it working, not working, or down.

Cool Benj,
Thanks

Hi temi,
Just drop the member/contestant using this technique, or give him warning before you delete his site

[temi]

Any member who use unacceptable method will just be informed to stop, and when the contest comes to an end, before the prizes are awarded, we check the winners sites to ensure they did not use method that are not accepted.

Hi Temi,

Thanks for clearing it in advance as otherwise it would have caused lots of problem. Using fair techniques is the basic of this competition and it should be regarded.

Thanks

I am using 301 redirect from my page to my friends page because I decided that I don't have a chance. Is that a problem?
