The selection for options 2 and 3 should be limited to variants posted at
the time the contest is announced.  Otherwise you have a moving target, 
with the later registrants having slightly more choices, and even the
possibility of a contestant submitting a variant with an unobvious second
player win, and then choosing it for his third option.
An acceptable way of 'gaming' the choices, if a contestant were very
strong at one of the option 1 games, would be to choose option 2 and 3
games that no one would want to play.
