We've had flexible Contest rules for the majority of recent years and anyone could jump in and run one (I think you did on that Space Alert version, Tiger?) I think we should put that back in (not sure why it was removed), but my main question to you, Yally, and others is: given that Contests existed for so long, why did so few Contests happen? I tend to think this is the kind of thing that everyone says they want, but don't have time to administer so wait for someone else to run. -G.
