It was a design intent (at least on *my* part) that contests *not* be specified as extended, simple or anything else. For example, in the drafts a number of results were based on the loser's negative AP - this obviously relegates whatever produced those results to an extended contest, so I insisted that they be changed to the "Contest Results" - Marginal/Minor/Major/Complete Defeats, rather than AP.
