No, I'm saying you'll probably never see such rules again because of that week  

Same thing would of happened in round one last year (Mario Bros.) where you'd have to play for 80 straight hours

But... but that's what I wanna do!!!
 

And I want an excuse to max the score on Contra again.

It depends on the game. If the game is hard enough or difficulty increases enough then "endless" looping will be allowed. There was no limit in the Kung Fu and Bayou Billy contests, for example.

Contra may or may not be a low score contest this year.

In short, the rules are made to test skill, not free time

Contra is familiar enough to most people here that I'm betting it's a one loop contest of some sort.

In the last contest they had everyone enter the 30 lives code and play for low score, including dividing final score by lives remaining. I wouldn't mind that.
