In other words, you are asking to destroy the very essence of Contests? I would have thought that the nature of games and contests is competition, you either make it or you don't. Maybe that's just me
Not exactly, more like consideration for people with inflexible/inconvenient schedules, arthritis, or inconsistent internet access.
The contests are supposed to be fun for multiple user groups, not just the youngest/fittest. You could actually say, games are inherently designed for those who are mediocre at them. Too easy or too hard and interest is lost.
I was asking if anyone had considered subdividing them. That way slow access/slow readers/slow typers can find and participate in the games suited for themselves. Somewhat like almost all other forums are subdivided for ease. Even if they divide them in some other fashion, it might be easier for everyone. Perhaps: Puzzles, Timed/Races, Trivia, etc.
