Thanks for clarifying this... I was surprised by Steve's earlier
statement.

I'd say "do not accept", not "do not recognize".  Maybe they do not have
the projection equipment or they want consistency of judging.  They also
do not accept View Master in the same competition.  I don't blame them,
especially since it is very easy to remount a 2x2x2 pair in an RBT wide
nount.
