3.2.10: The Worldcon Committee may relocate a dramatic presentation work into a more appropriate category if it feels that it is necessary, provided that the length of the work is within twenty percent (20%) of the new category boundary.
There's no mention in these rules of accepting nominees that are ineligigible when nominated. Reading the rules makes it seem that a UK double episode can only be moved to the short form category if it is correctly nominated in the long form category. I might be wrong as you say, but by the rules available, I am right.
My point being there should be a definition of short form that includes, or excludes, long arc television series. What is short form? Will the "Game of Thrones" series be categorised as one arc (,following the definition of story in the novel category that allows novels split into two to be counted as one story). Or will nominations of single episodes be counted? What about a three episode miniseries? It would be a little over two hours if it was US, where do the Hugos stand on that, short or long?
