Further to my original query about contesting:

Now what if the regent invested the holding instead of doing the second
contest ! It seems that this would be a highly efficient way of raising
ones level of guild holdings ! (Assuming the regent has a friendly priest
to cast investiture! - n.b. a Free action for the priest) Why take three
actions (Contest,contest,rule) when it can be done in two (contest, invest)
??

cheers,

Because you can't do it that way. You cannot be invested of a holding
unless it is uncontrolled. True even though after the first contest,
the loser can't get regency or gold, he still "controls" the holding.
He would have to be "divested".
