In addition to current posters, these tournaments generate external interest. I, and more importantly So8res, signed up for an account at LessWrong for one of these contests.
Wow, I was not aware of that. I saw that the last one got some minor attention on Hacker News and Reddit, but I didn’t think about the outreach angle. This actually gives me a lot of motivation to work on this year’s tournament.

Oops! I misremembered. So8res’ second post was for that tournament, but his first was two weeks earlier. Shouldn’t have put words in his mouth, sorry!
