Here is one thing that some of you are not thinking about.   With a land based contest, you won't know who or how many are in each category until the time of the contest.  

Since this is an internet contest, things are a bit different, and everyone has to enter earlier.    Because of this some of you are trying to figure out if there is an advantage to certain categories.   This is something you cannot do in a land based contest.

Instead of worrying about the number of entries in each category, how about worrying about who is entered in each category.   I think that is a bit more important.   There are some excellent builders in this contest and they will be tough to beat.   Each category has it's specialist.  

My advice is to stop worrying about the numbers and get building.   You will need your A-game no matter what.
