Why not post the slightly oversized CASP10 targets as contests?

Evening all
CASP10 is having a slow start this time around (I'm not complaining!)
Given that we have only seen 2 out of the first 10 possible targets, but there are 4 other targets that are sized 205, 195, 182 and 210 segs. Would it be a huge amount of work, to release them as contests? That way we could satisfy our curiosity, it would be entirely voluntary and wouldnt affect global ranks.
Sounds like a win win to me :)

Yes, I would like to see these and try them just for fun, at least.
It's win-win except for beta_helix that has to post them ;-)
Setting up these puzzles with the alignment tool is a bit time consuming, but I would be happy to post one of the server models for each of these as either a Contest or in Gallery Mode.
A contest might be better since it wouldn't confuse new players and you can still compete on the Contest Leaderboard.
Does that sound good?
Let me know if you'd prefer a RosettaServer model (which will score well but be hard to get out of any local minima) or a Quark/Zhang model. Alternatively, I could just post these as a freestyle puzzle starting from an extended chain.
BTW today's target might not be a very fun one since it's a Membrane Protein!

I have an overwhelming urge to reinstall GTA: San Andreas...this will severely cut into folding time though.
sorry I should have made a comment to the video :)
I don't think it is nuts to post them. I can handle big puzzles. The video just popped into my mind when I've read 'membrane protein'

Or some low (10pts) scoring ones?
