Also should imply "Reasonably well attended by those concerned with such." Of course, it's all relative, and hyperbole has its place. For example, USIC is a "major" indoor contest. This not to suggest that non-major contests ought not be supported and advertised, and enjoyed. By all mean, please announce here, just tell the truth, please.

Oops, didn't mean to say that USIC is an example of hyperbole. However, suppose the USIC attendance dwindled to say, 10 entries. Someone could still rightly call it a "major contest" due to its history, if nothing else. And at that sad point, other contests might be be happy to advertise 4 entries. That's all I meant by "it's all relative" and "hyberbole has its place."
