• Be a good way to advertise content:
To increase awareness of the activities' existence, in the absence of active reasons to know of their being. This can have varying degrees of effectiveness, from merely being a footnote, to being active promotion of, or even participation in the competitions; there are now much easier, though more varied, ways of doing this, now, and it'd be counterintuitive to not use the most effective measures now available, especially if the space exists. Things can grow in popularity, rather fast, and unexpectedly - it can only be known if tried.
• Be a way to encourage more people to try/use/enjoy the content:
To encourage people who only see the content in a bad way, due to previous encounters, or bad word from those who've had unpleasant experiences, to see the gmae in a different light, so that they may be willing (or eager
) to give the activity another try.
It can also make newer players more aware of the content's uses, and the different ways it can be enjoyed.
• Get people following/behind a general movement of fun contests for many parts of lesser-used content:
Build popularity for trying out, and perhaps becoming good at, many of the activities with fewer players, because it's seen as a more worthwhile part of the game (reward rebalancing would work well for that, but so would encouragement from JAGEX to place value on using all bits of content, and becoming adept at them). It would help enspire more competitions, and gather people round supporting older content.
If each is highlighted in the right way, then it would be seen as more worthwhile to do those activities, and help people make use of more content, rather than sticking to only one way of playing. At the moment, lots of good (in some cases, very good) content goes largely unused, merely because it can't help with what's seen as the main aims, even when some would enjoy using that content just as much, if not more, than the mainstream things.

• Because of little involvement and testing of all parts of the activity are done, little useful data can be gathered for future use in deciding what would best work for the game, out of suggested improvements. (even if Mods took part in the competition, without a crash-course on the intricacies, there would be little they could pick up from such a short time, with many activities).
• It's still open to many of the flaws that can be avoided in a few other formats (to do with scoring, in some activities).
• There needs to be a lot of repetitive hands-on overseeing, of all the matches.
• It may be hard to balance the number of matches needed per person (so as to avoid too many ties in overall score, and to get a good idea of average performance) with the overall length of the competition.
• It's unworkable with a few activities.
