Contest Focus Group

Ok, so I've decided to try out something new. I am forming a Contest Focus Group. The function of this group will be to pick over the next contest before it gets released to the public. I am hoping that doing this will eliminate some of the confusing points of past contests. I am just one guy and can't think of everything

Anyway, the focus group members will most likely change each time. I may get to a point where I ask someone to stay on board for all the focus groups. To pick the first focus group, I'd like people to private message me here and I will take the first 3 that get a message over to me.

Please don't ask to join up if you don't have time over the next day or so to comment on the new contest.

What will I be looking for? I want some nit-picking. I want people to find the loopholes in the contests. I want to make the contests as fair and as clear as possible.

Yes, the people on the focus group will have a sneak peek at the new contest...

Yes, I don't see that knowing about the contest 1 day in advance is going to give them some killer advantage

RE: Contest Focus Group

I'm coming up with a new way for people to get into the focus group...I think it will be entertaining

RE: Contest Focus Group

Speaking of the next problem, is there a chance it might be a little less subjective? The defined part of this problem was almost trivial and the undefined part, while potentially interesting, was more like playing with yourself than competing with others.

In fairness you admitted that up front but at least I found it hard to get into the guessing game aspect.
