My comments so far:

* I'm considering not including keyboard, except that, well, I do enjoy works in the form at least somewhat and like the idea of reasonably well-run 4-key keyboard contests.
* The big issue with an "open pad" bracket, as stated, is people on the outskirts of the difficulty range. Hardcore players will tend to pan easier sets unless they are really fun. Newer and more casual players, on the other hand, will pan the highest difficulties as 'too hard' regardless of it's real difficulty. We can't assume law of averages, unfortunately, so some way to work this out - perhaps changing the current 'bug-free and accurate difficulty' to 'Has an intent and follows it successfully' would help?
* I mean highest and lowest scores per song, not in the judges' overall averages.
* Challenge charts are not going to be considered a main chart - they'll offer bonus points (but truly asstastic ones can offer negative bonus).
* I do not see hamm's argument as being a bad thing, if we fairly represent a decent range of opinions and have a rule of considering what you think the chart was going for, and how well it attains it, as part of it's score (this replacing 'bug-free')
* If the brackets merge... Well I'm thinking if it'd allow two pad entries or jus one. I'd say probably two, but they'd have to follow highly distinct styles.
* I'm thinking about whether to use 3.9r4 or 4.0 CVS. I'm personally a fan of supporting the CVS releases to help catch inevitable bugs - and furthermore get people to adjust to the new Radial coordinate scheme. This is, however, my opinion.
