Thank you VERY much. I'll take a look at this and try to implement it 
tonight. I haven't received any feedback at all about my suggestion as to 
how to implement contests of this type. It was the easiest way I could 
think of, but maybe it wasn't easy enough for Mr.~Tree to consider 
implementing it.

The fact does remain, I think, that there's whole category of contests out 
there that TR really doesn't do very well with. And instead of Tree having 
to write code for a special "REF" contest and/or "UBA" contest, it might be 
better to bite off the more difficult task of giving users enough commands 
in the config file to implement _any_ contest of this type properly.
