I wrote: I intend, without 3 objections, to add the Y axis to FRContest. I intend, without member objection, to amend FRContest by replacing section 6 with this text: 6) As soon as possible after the end of each week, the contestmaster SHALL award points in this order, subject to limits imposed by the rules, breaking ties randomly as needed. For the purpose of this clause, contestanthood is measured at the end of the week. a) For each round of the Committee that was won by a contestant during that week, 20 points to that contestant, using the axis preferred by the contestant (if e has done so) or the contestmaster (otherwise). b) For each fantasy rule submitted by a contestant that was judged during that week, 6 or 4 or 2 x-points to that contestant, depending on whether it was judged valid or unsuccessful or invalid (respectively), and 2*max(abs(S),3) y-points to that contestant (where S is the number of style points awarded to it), rounded to an integer, breaking ties toward odd integers; if S is negative, then e SHALL revoke y-points instead of awarding them; e SHALL award/revoke these points in the order the fantasy rules were judged. Having received no objections, I perform these changes.

I'd object to any new rewards unless we add something to reward and/or penalize non-performing judges (I don't think we have such a thing, do we?). Something like the judge of a round shall be rewarded Y points for judging, and lose 2Y points when a rule becomes valid by timeout. -G.
