This is ridiculous- you can't have special rules that only apply to people who
"think they will do well". The rules of the contest have to apply to everyone
equally.
If you do, the side effect is that the contest sponsor will have to DQ a few
stations who weren't sure that they were "good enough" or whatever, and didn't
jump through the extra 10 hoops. That would be very unpopular.
On the other hand, if the contest sponsor wants to spend some effort ENFORCING
rules (via SDR recordings, observers, station visits, etc) for the stations
they think are at the top, that is a good thing.
