I dIsagree Nick. Here I pointed out a particular point as proof that the oft vaunted AMPS system is no less flawed than the free range IPMS system. I also showed that the IPMS system does not pigeon hole the model as does the numeric systems. And that those who complain IPMS is too harsh or critical would probably do worse in a numerical judging system. I think that is very much a distinction WITH a difference.
And at this point, no one has shown that I am wrong.
Worrying about why we have a contest is somewhat pointless. Obviously, plenty of our members as well as other groups want and enjoy the competition.
