The '''2005 Elite Summer Contest''' was known as ''The Wide Open Edition''. 2005 differed from the previous two [[Elite Summer Contest]]s in that the previous Champions ([[Ngamer]] & [[Snap]] who tied in '03, and [[Clark]] from '04) were removed into a Champion's Bracket.

The Contest kicked off at midnight EST on '''Wednesday, June 1st of 2005'''. To vote, Eliters sent the name of their daily choice to [[Ngamer]] over AOL Instant Messenger at '''ImNgamer''', or mailed their choice to '''ngamer AT gmail DOT com'''.
