The rules used ended up favoring Tartarians ALOT. The fact that Pretenders were walking in there with 6 picks (after buffing items) and the Tartarians were walking in with 13 was totally unrealistic.
Also, the lack of a "pretender" tag really overpowered Enslave and Hellbind. As such, the contest was more of a "who can find the loophole in the contest contest" than a "who can make the best SC contest". Still, kudos to the victor, you amply took advantage of the loopholes in that contest.
Even so, I think it might have turned out differently if more people had come in with good Mindless SCs. The only thing close was a gargoyle, and it wasn't even fully equipped.

No spell research, I will just tell everyone to name the spells they want to use, and add them in in the file. Lot less hassle.

Unfortunately, that's a bad idea. While it's less hassle, it's even more abusable. Imagine the effectiveness of the Slaver Squad if they could have shut off "Horror Mark" and the like. If SCs can input their perfect spell list as the only known spells, they won't do stupid crap when people outsmart them.
Things would go very differently, for example, if a Hellbinder had nothing else to cast and therefore
ran forward if he was out of range...
Limiting spell lists to only requested spells is way too big of a powerup for spellcasters. And as we've seen, they really don't need powerups at all.
