I'm curious, and I'm hoping someone can help.

I've read in a number of contest rules and guidelines, that you're not to put your name anywhere on the title page or anywhere else on the script. Can anyone tell me why?

To protect you from any bias or prejudice. Blind judging puts everyone on a level playing/judging field so only the material is judged and not the writer. Your script is given a number which the administration can use to identify the writer but the reader has no idea who wrote it.
