I don't think it's necessary. The competition is basically divided up into social (salon) tango and show tango.  I think that's enough of a division that encourages creativity but still respects the roots and purpose of the dance.

When the competition first started, I really didn't like the idea of it.  But now, I see where it can help define what is and what is not Argentine tango as it evolves.  That can be a good thing.
