I think your being far to specific with the categories.
I believe that for the points system you need to do the following:
Each participant gave 5 aspects of their build, lets judge each one individually based on those aspects and a 1-10 rank based on progress, difficulty, and workmanship. For each voting period only the top two categories will be added up for each individual (judges will vote on all 5) to encurage a streemlined focus from the builder and continuity for your articles. This gives a total possible 60 points per voting round. Final round will be all categories.
Simple and effective.
Bonus systems could be used but I would keep them to "early finish", "first done", "documentation", ext. Nothing specific to the build.
This prevents all the uneccesary and unfair category system and lets the individual have their own category system.
I actually agree. All work that was done prior should be null and void, this way there is an even playing field. Start all judging effective 1 October. Then we don't have to hear about how well I am fabbing this or I have done a lot in the past two years. All that gets wiped. And maybe George will finally send me that T-shirt that he still owes me for the past 3 years.
You are correct. Only work that is done between October 1, 2015 and September 14, 2016 counts in the Challenge. We collected a list of needed work and photographs from each Challenger before the Challenge started. Yes, someone could cheat. But, . . . .
