“Flavours” Challenge- discussion 2

[M0LEP]

@G4AZS

The more it looks like a contest, the less attractive it will be …

I’ve nothing against contests so long as I’m not expected to participate.

@G8ADD

more competitive than the rest of SOTA.

After the previous two challenges certificates were available to a select few top-scorers. For the 12 Metre Challenge, there was this (quoted from the SOTA News for August 2014):

@G4SSH

Certificates can be claimed if your score is in the top 10 worldwide or if you are an association winner and in the top 25 worldwide.

…and for the 6 metres challenge there was this (from the challenge announcement):

@MM0FMF

There will be certificates for the top chaser and activator. There will be certificates for best chaser and activator on an association by association basis as well. The final number of certificates awarded will be based on the activity levels.

…both of which imply that there are winners, and certainly made those two challenges seem like competitions to me. I may be jumping to conclusions, but I just assumed the same would apply to this one.
