If you have placed as first in one or two contests, it is 100% okay to mention that. If you have placed as second or third in one or two contests, it's all right to mention it if you want to. If you have only finaled (and ended up placing fourth or fifth), or if you've won second place in, like, twelve contests or something, it's totally worthless. It only shows that you are second place and that you like to enter contests. *g*
Have you ever seen the Monaco font? It's a relatively big monospaced font where every single character is different (1, l, I and | are all easy to distinguish, as are 0 and O) that, IMHO, is just prettier than Courier (as a programmer, it's my font of choice).
I got disqualified from the GH my first year out although I formatted all the print pages and margins right and used courier new-I forgot to put page numbers on my 7 page synopsis...yes it cost me fifty dollars and 5x55 pages, $25 postage and I never made that mistake again.

I read that letter. I also read the entry rules for the GH which state clearly both the required format and that improperly formatted entries lose their fee.
Don't have a lot of sympathy for the girl. How long was her synopsis, that she needed to single-space it? Was she trying to sneak in a too-long synopsis, single-spaced, in order to get more pages entered?
If they let her slide, what happens when someone finds out, and they were disqualified for another "minor" submission error? And they start writing angry letters?
The rules are clear. If you don't follow them, that's the risk you're taking, and not someone else's problem.

Does that count?
Oh wait, I should have asked how MUCH money you were willing to bet FIRST. Darn.
