The smaller size is the big draw for me. Since block stacking has been
done several times before making it smaller erases a lot of the past
experience several competitors might otherwise have.

I like the idea of creating a point system that rewards different
aspects of the contest. It might take some wrangling to create a
balanced system. We'd want the base line aspects of the contest to be
fairly equally rewarded. If bring your blocks back to your square is
worth too much, no-one will bother just building stacks. I think the
scoring should focus on building towers.
