When you are launching a contest in the Cockpit, you should make sure you have provided as much information as you can. Put the information into the right place. For example, when you are entering the field of Detailed Requirement, you should provide information like the background of this contest, and describe what you want to achieve in this contest. In the field of Software Guidelines you should enter the guidance like how submissions will be reviewed and where can competitors ask questions. See an example here. Sometimes specification is provided to competitors via a wiki link within the contest detail page. The link will direct to the detailed requirements of the contest. See an example here.
