It was nice having an easy target to win a sponsor prize, though. I know I got a whole extra app written with the eLance winnings from that event. :) Wasn't even trying or expecting for anything to happen on the winning overall front since I was the only coder on my team.

There's a game theory element though. If everyone is going for the same sponsorship prize, the odds of winning become more difficult.
