Yeah, that's the one concern I've had. I know that if you try to host
contests that require lots of effort, the hoster gets burnt out quickly. But
if it takes little effort then the participants can easily get burnt.
I know that it took the irtc.org people a bit to find the appropriate rate of
one every other month. They have a two types of contests and they run in
parallel, but staggered by a month (if i remember right).
I think it's going to be a serach for a comfortable middle-ground. To that
end we'll just need to try and see.
