I've run it by the setters at our gym and it looks like we'll be hosting one soon. Another idea I had that is similar to Charlie's is... Once a month (or week), give a gold star sticker to regulars, and let them stick it by their favorite route. Eventually, the highest quality routes will be obvious by their collection of stars. With these additional ideas to inspire setters... maybe we should start a thread about it in the forum. Excellent idea!

I've also proposed a different idea to MR and that is the notion of a "route of the month" award that is judged by the setters' peers. That is, each month, the setters would all vote on which route is the best piece of work, by any setter, that month. No $$'s, just fame by marking that route with a special route placard (gold star, different color, etc.). So while I like the concept of knowing what the customers think of my routes in the annual smackdown, I also like to know what my peers think of my routes.
