[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 300824, member: 13090"] I'll go on record as saying I don't really care for how the Monthly Challenges are done on all points, either. I also think you bring up a valid point about "noobs" competing against Professionals, but the issue of selecting winners from different groups complicates things because judges would have to select 25 different winners (5 winners from the 5 categories if we keep to the current system) which massively increases the workload... Unless you meant one winner being selected from each of the five catagories... Either way, I wouldn't care but what does confuse me is when, exactly, does one transition from "Hobbyist" to "Student" or "Semi-pro"? What do these terms even mean? *confused look* Further... What prevents a true professional from calling themselves a noob to better their chances at winning? Sad, I know, that someone would do that, but you know there would be some who would... And no, I'm not really expecting answers to these questions, of course, I'm more just thinking out loud. My over-arching point here is that I too think the challenges could, and probably *should*, be handled differently but I don't want push my own agenda on the concept. I'm with [COLOR=#0000ff][B]Marcel[/B][/COLOR] in thinking the community should decide what they want the Monthly Challenge to look like and determine the specifics of the decision making process.
