Is it possible to put up an official set of rules and regs?

I've gone through the original thread and the Feb announcement and while I see a lot of good discussion on how the contest should work, I didn't find many definite rules; e.g. word max/min, use of betas, posting in other places before the contest is over, etc.

Yes.

Award Format:

Submissions last a month, at which point the forum fics are posted in is locked to the authors who submitted and only judges are permitted access. Judging lasts, generally, a week or so into the next month [or however long it takes to get a good spread of scores].

Scores are averaged and then ranked. Stories are then moved into a showcase, with the winner stickied, along with a separate thread with the raw scores. Judges comments and rankings are deleted beforehand, to ensure they can be as brutal as possible.

Judging is done by the entirety of the staff, in addition to 5 DLP members randomly selected. Any DLP member may apply to be a judge. Judging Application threads [usually] go up in conjunction with the announcement for the contest.

All Awards last one month, and all have a theme related to some category of the Library.

I hope this clears up everything.
