I don't like this. Points awarded by a contest should be proportional to the skill at winning that contest which should be proportional to the number of contestants you are competing against in that contest. The link shouldn't be spread out among multiple contests. Honestly, there are always plenty of good ideas for contests, but I think "fewer contests with more players, higher interest by more agorans and higher quality" is better, so am not particularly against current one contest/contestmaster. -Goethe
