Hey aridiculous, we really wanted the economics of the competitive format to be fair. We got to the point where our experienced experts were winning 30-50%, so for them it wasn't so bad. Customers sometimes complained about "only" getting 2 or 3 experts, but we quickly realized it was better for everyone, including the customer.
It's a bit like being a software consultant. Most clients don't pay enough for you to do your absolute best work. That's what happened in the contest format. The best experts didn't make enough to do their best work. With the current format, we see them really sinking their teeth into big trips and having fun.
