The issue was that we wanted to limit the abstract to two lines on the homepage. Limiting to one sentence meant that long sentences were taking up more than that. So, we truncated based on word count.
We could have done something more complicated with checking sentence length and then truncating etc. But, the Rumble is time limited & it wasn’t a priority.
Thanks for the heads up; I'm sure that there will be plenty of little things pop up now we have finalized the entry. We'll take a look at it once the judging is over.
