The real point is that people can choose which class to enter,
maximizing the fun potential *for them*. To date, the majority of the
top competitive operators have chosen the traditional Unassisted
category, and I hazard the guess that this is because they regard
unassisted S&P as an important skill they bring to the table. I can't
imagine why any contest sponsor should want to merge the two classes.
