Design competition fairness

just wanted to say that i feel it would be fair if the non-profit contests were off-limits to design-team-members, since their design contests are more frequent, than the non profit ones, and as a result, it gives non-design team members a chance of winning.
Thanks:)

Thanks for getting back to me on this topic.
The thing is, i feel that it is not fair to the non-team members that the design team members partake in the non profit contests, because there are very few non profit contests, whereas in the areas where non-design team members cannot participate, there is an abundance of contests.
Gosh, that sounds like a tongue twister.
Basically, what I am trying to say is that since there are more frequent contests for the dsign team members, and not for the non members, it would be fair to designate the non profit only for non team members, since really, that's all they've got.
I ask this not to be unfair to anyone, but to be fair to those who don't have many chances of competing in contests, because of a lack of them.

Rinaldi: but the design team members do have an advantage over the non members as it is. They have more contests, and higher prize values to boot.
Naturally, i dont want to be unfair, so perhaps if there was a way to increase the number of contests in the non-profit section, it may balance things out for non-DT members.
Because of a lack of contests in NP & Community areas, i feel like those who do have access to lots of contests are accessing the limited supply that non-DT members have.
I keep checking the non-profit and community areas for contests, and the last contest in non-profit was the ciklidi.org (expired Jan 23, nothing new since), and the DC Wine Label (which I believe is the only active contest in the community area).
Unless im mistaken, that makes 1 active contest for non-members, compared to all the active ones in the Design team areas.
All I want to do is design and test my skills against other members. Like Uniment1 said, the more competition, the better. Afterall, I joined this site to exercise my skills, and I hope that my request for more contests can be met.
Thanks :-)

Yes but I still think that the point made about fairness to the Contest Holders stands, even if this is true as well.Rinaldi: but the design team members do have an advantage over the non members as it is. They have more contests, and higher prize values to boot.

Well if the design team have other projects going on then doesn't that mean they have less time to complete each and ervy single one of them to the best of their ability.Thanks for your feedback!

Hey Al3x,
One would assume so, but I base my case on what I am seeing and experiencing, and not solely on assumptions.
It would be nice to have more contests in the areas alotted to non DT team members, those being the non-profit and community areas.
Reason for this is that non DT members only have one active contest, in contrast to multiple active contests going on in DT member-designated areas.
Thanks :-)
PS: Rinaldi: thanks for understanding what i was aiming at.

Illumina: Sure you do! How about promoting DC to charity orgs? That will definitely attract more charities to come to DC and hold nonprofit contests.
Perhaps encouraging DT members to host contests in the community section may also increase the number of active contests.
Nyxxie: Thanks for your sensitivity, I knew i wasn't the only one who felt the way I do :-)
