About your last observation: If I was to offer a team golf course, I'd accept sign-ups until a certain points, then make the teams, then publish the holes. Thereafter, I would still accept entries from others, but those then would work alone. That's seems rather fair in the sense that everybody gets to join a team if he/she wants to. The big downfall this won't cure is that this kind of golf won't attract "new" newbies as in: They won't enter the tournament at first because they're somewhat intimidated (please excuse my bad choice of words) and once the tasks are published, they won't enter because they don't dare enter alone. Perhaps we should stay with the traditional Perl golf. It's a great game as it is.
