NO, why should they have to be consistent year to year?
-----------------------------

Because changing an interpretation or application of a rule without 
communicating it to the field of participants ahead of time is self-defeating.

Likewise, if participants can't trust a sponsor to communicate clearly, openly 
and consistantly you end up with endlessly recurring threads on e-mail lists 
that resolve nothing. :)
