I think a combined category may have had more interest than the smaller categories since it is less restrictive and therefore will have more options for nominations when/if it comes to it.

We don't, but there are lots of things we'll never know. I tried to get the two groups merged because I didn't think anyone would really be averse to it, but it is what it is. I don't think it is worth much time debating it because I don't think either category or a merged one really stood a chance of making it to the final categories. Maybe if the club's dynamic changes, but right now probably not.
