The contract *doesn't* say "This shall become a contest". You're reading text into it that isn't even there. > ACK: Agora says: "now that you followed the W/O objection, you are > recognized by our rules as a contest, and the scorekeepor will track > your points as Agoran points."

ACK: Agora says: "now that you entered a contest as judgement in an equity case, and that contract has gone into effect per Rule 2169, you are recognized by our rules as a contest..." Rule 2136 does not say that it can be the only means to creating a contest. -root
