That's very interesting the AMA would limit IMAC to 70 contestants.  I 
wouldn't think they'd care how many contestants IMAC  had, as long as 
they finished their competition within the time slot.  In fact, 
contestants over an AMA threshold expense should net AMA $35 for each 
contestant over the threshold.  So, I'd think they'd want as want as 
many as IMAC could effectively handle.
