I support your idea, but a word of warning: a brand new contest wont have immediate success, so your ideas of huge juries and all that wont come to fruition just yet (eg NSC took about a year to come to its 2 semi format, FSC took 3 years to come to the RoW decision) so if you small group of people decide to make one, you better be dedicated to it

And if the contest becomes uberpopular like NSC and FSC, the mods will have to make tough decisions like the NSC and FSC mods do currently, or you can have a chaotic contest that pleases everyone but doesnt have a sense of community because so many people are leaving and joining. I'm not trying to put you off or anything though, and I do support this idea. One thing I will say though is DO NOT MAKE THIS NEW CONTEST NSC/FSC 2. A rip-off of NSC or FSC will never work because the original contest is so strong. I suggest you look at some of the contests they have on escforum .net and using one as the basis for your new contest. Good luck
