  An IOCCC Judge here. Sure, a variety of things! A competition can take about 4 full weekends of time ~128hrs total (Fri:6+Sat:16+Sun:10 x 4) to set up, judge and release the results. Getting 3 independent and very busy people coordinated with work, travel and major life events going on can get quite difficult. Recently we've opted to not start a competition if we do not pre-schedule the weekends for completing it! The result is that 2016 and 2017 could not happen.

    Thanks! And thanks for taking the time to organise these competitions when you can, they're truly edifying.
