Personally I probably wouldn't pay much attention to AARs in a competition format either, but I suppose if people want to participate in it they'll be aware they might not win. I think as long as it doesn't impact on the whole AAR thing outside of any competition maybe theres no harm in letting those that want to go ahead?
You never know, could even act as a catalyst for some great AARs.
My 2 cents
Cheers
