Fair enough, redacted, rescinded and replaced.

If you choose to take it seriously, so be it. But even if you win the prizes by doing so, you lose the event, as you don't have nearly as much fun :P. The point of this event is a for a good, fun, laugh. If you think a badge or whatever prize you get is worth wasting this opportunity, then feel free, but just know that everyone else is getting alot more out of it :P (also, just winning won't get you maximum points anyway, and the overall 1st place badge is just for tradition's sake, the plan is to also reward the fun things that should happen naturally). In my opinion, if you come just to take it seriously, then it's probably not worth your time.

I think you should call it something other than a Tournament then, so that it is obvious and upfront that this is not to be seen in the same light at other competitive tournaments.
I think it is great that someone wanted to break away from standard competitive fare and open up a more festive get together that truly builds community. And to further this wish and somewhat higher minded goal, I think it should advertise itself as something other than a tournament so it isn't sullied by it.
A festival, a Fete, a party, a mixer, GOIO's version of the Laff-a-lympics or some other name that will set it apart and above regular Tournaments. Just a thought.

Others will require players to keep a keen eye out for. So there is already a bit of both, as you asked. Keep in mind that the extra points are meant to be silly in nature. Many a drunken hour betweem myself and the tournament committee was put into coming up with them.
There will be a participation badge, and a gold badge. It was important to me (as it was important to Timmy) that everyone gets recognized for participating as a community.

That sounds excellent, looking forward to see how things go.
Queso:
As the owner of the only point so far, I like secret points.
