Abstract
In this work we present the idea of partitioning contestants into disjoint groups, each competing in an independent contest, with its own prize. We focus on binary contests, wherein contestants choose whether or not to participate, and show that such contest partitioning can benefit the organizer running the contest when partitioning entails a cost.
