Well, Ronald_Reagen has done great work in the past with previous contest and providing help where he can to mappers. Rad (or Mousikos) actually came to me asking about mapping contest. He was interested in starting his own contest, and thats why he was asking about mapping categories in a different topic. However, I told him I was in the middle of trying to organize a contest if he wanted to help with it first and learn so he can understand his better, and be able to provide for his contest in the future better. Now, Jack-is I guess I am guilty of selection all on my own with no previous knowledge of his judging or without him asking me. So I will take credit for that one. I actually would be open to a 5th judge if it were someone that would be a quality judge. The contest has seen a lot of judges over the years, both good and bad (8th contest was about as bad as it gets judging wise). I didn't have any real idea or much to go on for a possible 5th person. Most of the people I would like to see judge a contest have either already have done so and don't want to again or just don't want to in the first place. Of course if you leave how the judges are picked for the contest up to the community, you'll get another popularity contest like the 6th mapping contest.
