The current rules of the 84 Spaces Contest state as follows.

Judges
The contest will be judged by one or two qualified judges. It will be
announced later who these judges are.

Now, the rules appear to have, in practice, been changed so that lots of
people, including entrants, judge the contest. That change, however,
seems to be going back more towards the original rules of the 84 Spaces
Contest.
The distinction of some games being designated newcomer games would, I
feel, be unfair. That was not in the rules at the start and should not
become part of the rules now.
David Short suggested four groups of eight. Once Flipworld is added into
group 4, as he suggests, would those groups be suitable? Is there any
reason not to use those groups?
