Yay for you. I love seeing fellow GRMers make their way up the ladder. This goes well with Shopcraft as Soulcraft that I'm reading currently. Degrees don't mean much about a person's ability. Intelligence and drive are what keep moving someone forward/upward.
Them changing the requirements sure seem to be aimed directly at you. Obviously they see something in you that they want to keep and let prosper.

Should I be held back just because I skipped the minor leagues? I've succeeded at everything I've done here. Why should now be any different?"

Well the interesting and positive part is only one of the people I have to interview with on round 2 really matters (my boss' boss) He's the one that when I interviewed for the job I have now told me I'd never be allowed to advance at the company without a degree. He's also the one who rewrote the job description to de-emphasize the degree requirement. I think my odds are good.
