The Contesting Compendium

The Contesting Compendium is a Wiki Site dedicated to contesting. LOTS of useful information here.  Start with the Table of Contents and drill down on the various sections. 

NOTE: The contesing wiki site hosted at contesting.com is now offline, however, the link below now points to the internet archive at web.archive.org.  The link will work but will likely be slower than normal.
