Example Scenario:
A person w/ a twitter account called "mytweetacct" happens to mention @InternetCitadel in one of their tweets. @mytweetacct has *no* idea that a contest is even underway, but @mytweetacct is *still* subsequently listed via the "Current Contest Standings" do to the fact that he/she earned a point for tweeting w/ "@InternetCitadel" somewhere in their tweet.

Would be nice if there were a way to force contestants to "register" for the contest so that the Contest Burner software would/could then only report (and award prizes) for those who truly were registered.

Hope all that made sense.
We are working hard to get the new version ready and it will include an option to only award points to users that have visited your get links page to get their contest links.
