Troy made a nice suggestion to hold some sort of competition to win a contributor badge.

so here it is: the 11111 Challenge

RULES:
******

1) You can try on different accounts and even win multiple badges
2) Everyone who has exactly 11111 points in August 2012 will receive a contributor badge
3) Post that you achieved it and I will check your score. Once I confirmed the 11111 myself, you can continue to play the account if you want.
4) If you got 11111 on an alt, you can ask to have the badge added on your main instead
5) You can not use boosts or any other type of artificial point gain that I can think of to reach 11111. Being a member is OK though. Basically, you have to get to 11111 by gaining points in tournaments and regular games only
6) If nobody wins a badge in August 2012, the first person to prove to me that he or she ended up on 11111 gets one anyway.
7) the first person to get to exactly 11111 points will also receive a $50 paypal donation from veta (if he doesn't try to weasel out of his bet of course)
8) if I see a loophole that I didn't think of, I will add a rule :)
