Following up on this: I like the idea of the PRS, which was to create a contest to get around restrictions in the rules. BobTHJ is now trying to change the rules to get around restrictions in the contests, sort of a situation where something designed to break the rules now needs a proposal to change. So why not just change the rules directly? People should follow contests; every contest out there is a potential source of scammable points, and so they can affect people who aren't even involved in them. -- ais523
