That's the point.

Take a look to the last A contest:
NoProductPlacement
24 downloads (this is always a big number, in every contest)
CN shows out a great score
The game ended (solutions list had only CN name, plus a fake entry by DrDillo)
The guilt is not of CN, but a post as his killed the game definitely..
When I try to play a level after a post as CN's, I DO NOT ENJOY!!
I look at the level, trying and trying, repeting to myself: "how did he do??"
It's obvious that probably his score is a consequence of a smart idea, and lot of tweaking, so I will never see it at the first view; this steal me every will to play that level, and not only to me, but also to the other 22 players...
Another point:
The N LEAGUE
I'm sure of the usefullness of it, but unificating it to the A league (like in Drago's proposal) could be a good idea! think: the principle is the same (non-vets competiting without the pressure of vets scores), but at the end they can compare their entries directly with the vets ones. That allows new players to get a medal and realises your "educational" purpose...
I'm sure you will understand!
