I actualy like the points idea, the fun part will be figureing out the catagories and how many points for each.

I also like the idea of having two prices, what you actualy paid (freebies are free) and then a running total of what it would have cost new. that way if a newbe liked the design and set up he would know how much it would cost to duplacate it.

Oh about the no water for 6 months, it should have read no water required for 6 months, so you had a max of 6 months to get water in your tank. that would give people time to realy think about what they want to do and work on getting there.

I just wanted to point out, that:

A) I haven't been in a contest, and I probably never will.
B) From the sounds of it, and I have seen it, stores in Vancouver alone fluctuate a lot in price ( go compare J&L vs. Aquariums West ). If you go to the interior, or even more, somewhere in manitoba, your stuff is going to cost you more, 100% guaranteed, so having a flexible system for money ( such as the point system ) makes things a bit more fair.
C) Make the focus again, less on value, and more on creative things such as: aquascaping, flora/fauna combinations, hardware setups.

From what it sounds like, the majority of arguments come from discussions associated with budgets. If the focus is changed from this being the key element that drives the contest, we'll be seeing far more interesting results.
