maybe i should post this to the TG forum, but im not in the contest and only mildly curious about this. since i already know this is a sharp bunch here, i will ask you all:

i didnt notice any regulations on the kind of game for the contest. it it all the same if you use 'no AI' as opposed to 'max AI' with full bonus and high dificulty? is quadrant size factored in? what if someone made a 'small spiral' map with 20 players all of the same planet type each with 10 'very good' planets, saved the map, rinse and repeat so that you have a few number of systems totally packed with perfect planets for you? is a high tech start the same as a low tech start?

I just didnt see many stipulations on the rules page, but maybe i was reading in the wrong area. seems very abuseable.
