I enjoy all the contests but that one in particular is fun because it only 
covers two bands and I can actually have room for other things in my car 
when I go to a hilltop.  The other thing I really like is the Hilltopper 
class.  No other contest has a category like that.

And if six has a big opening, as it can do at that time of year, it makes 
it a real blast!

I am sure that people have complaints about that contest too, but it's simple, has plenty of classes, and I may have missed it, but I can't remember there being this type of  contest objectives /vs/ contest rules /vs/ contest ethics factors involved.  It's definately a "work hard" contest versus a "who has the most bands" contest.  Nothing wrong with either contest as they are just geared differently and both have their pros and cons.
