Ability to bench any platform would definitely fit more people. However, how to accurately gauge participation or progression?

Drawing randomly from participants does not push anyone to do better (although, quite a few of the guys here will push anyway )

I need to get my mitts on a working board or figure out how to get this EVGA p67 FTW to post :S

I am pretty sure we will push ourselves and others. My idea is just to get people to bench and as many as possible. The problem right now is we have hit a slump where not as many are benching of lately. Create a contest where all can bench and I guarantee it will be better. I don't care if it is on air, water, snow, ice, dice, ln2, bacon grease or homebrew let alone slow, fast just bench damn it!

If there were to be a cooling class I believe it should only be air as everyone can do air. You start to do extreme cooling it kicks many out of the car. I would like to participate and anything past air I'm out. Also if you were to go by the fastest score be it in 2D, 3D or a combination we can already pick who the people are that would win. It's a no brainer, it would be whoever has the best CPU/GPU. That is why I suggested it be by participation, progression or random drawing. Opens it up to the masses and anyone can win.

LN2/DICE will limit the contest to a handful people...

Understandable on the air/water cooling being allowed. I'm in the south here with temps of 100+ everyday for around 30 days or so! I just would hate to see this contest fall victim to the who has the fastest hardware on LN2.

Contests are............confounding
Trust me

BUT! You gotta make do with what feasible, not everyone will be happy with whatever the final parameters are, so I say just do whatever cuz A contest is better than NO contest.
