Hey, I have a great idea!
In the next contest we should be able to 'release' our source code during the contest. That means that a submission you release, can be downloaded by other participants. But they can only download it as long as their ELO is 500 (800?) points higher. Practically such a pair of bots would not be matched against each other anyway so you don't get information that will directly affect the contest.
Additionally I like the idea of giving new participants a feeling of achievement when they unlock a new bot to test with.
