That's a great idea and I'll definitely follow your progress on it (unfortunately I'm going to be traveling / out of the country that weekend). It addresses some of the problem space I'm thinking about, and I really like the short duration nature of it. You might want to wait for the first competition to give some time for people to learn about it. This upcoming weekend is kind of short notice, but I guess if it's a regular competition you can see how it goes. The random idea and random co-founder thing is an interesting way to mix things up but you might encounter some resistance with that approach. The distributed online nature of it doesn't address the community aspect I'm hoping to build, but I like the idea of a regular ongoing competition. I also like your byline, a "pickup game" is a great way to frame it.
