Fighters are usually broken into weight divisions - then it comes down to skill and ability.
Personally I reckon this should be followed - range folk but the total value of the gear they used to do the shots, whether its your own gear or rented. So iIf one is using a million dollar scope - well fine - judge them in that category.
I'd rather see categories like gear used under $10K, under $20K, under $30K, under $50K and over $50K. Sure access to dark site helps - but that is part of your passion to lug your gear to the right spot.
Then it comes down to signal gathering and signal processing skills withing a equipment calibre class.
Oh and by gear - include everything say apart from the PC and operating system - but include mount, camera, focusers, OTAs, heaters, guide cam's, and all astronomy control and processing software (Maxim, Photoshop, CCDSoft) etc.
