Why would not someone who writes this good strategies trade them themselves instead of entering competitions?
I found it rather unnerving that no US trader was in the top 10 for this competition. Of the top 10 5 Russian 2 Chinese 2 Germany I read some of the interviews. These guys are very well grounded and focused.

Automated Trading Championship 2011: Sixth Week Report The first half of the Championship has passed. Six weeks out of twelve ones are over but the intrigue still remains. The Expert Advisor of Igor Korepin (Xupypr) has eventually left our TOP-10 and never again will its chart cross the Championship leader - the Expert Advisor of mysterious ias. But Xupypr is still the leader by the number of Code Base downloads. His Expert Advisor has been downloaded over 1600 times. And we have great news - multi-currency trading robots are more profitable than single-currency ones! It seems that multi-currency Expert Advisors will cause a real furor during the Championship. Everyone knows now that it would have been much better to make an Expert Advisor that is able to trade several currencies but only few know how. The chart of notused's Expert Advisor is not so beautiful as the one of ias but it is still advancing. Definitely, everyone understands that notused has good chances to find himself in TOP-3. The Championship comments section already has proposals concerning buying and selling most notable Expert Advisors but it is better to wait for the Market opening!

The money and time involved aren't worth it for anyone in the US, unless they are in college and bored. We're better off just trading our own accounts with real money doing the exact same thing.
Where is the parrot ranking is the real question, although not so "well grounded" perhaps as those mentioned above <B>Parrot Beats Traders In Stock Market Flutter</B> A parrot from Papua New Guinea beat human traders 12:26pm UK, Friday August 07, 2009 A five-year-old female parrot called Strawberry has proved to be smarter than human investors in a stock investment contest. The parrot from Papua New Guinea finished third in the six-week challenge, said Paxnet, an online stock market information provider. Ddalgi (Korean for Strawberry) competed with 10 stock investors in South Korea. Each started with 60 million won (£29,000) in cyber money and traded 10 million won (£4,860) worth of stocks in each transaction. Our experiment proved that making long-term investments in blue chips is safe and effective. Paxnet general manager Chung Yeon-Dae Human investors picked any stocks they wanted but the parrot, using its beak, made random choices from balls representing 30 blue chips, including Samsung Electronics. Stock market trader in South Korea "The outcome of our contest was amazing. Ddalgi stood third with her investment return standing at 13.7%," Paxnet general manager Chung Yeon-Dae said. Human investors averaged a 4.6% loss, with only two outperforming the parrot - one by 64.4% and one by 21.4%. The human investors mostly chose to trade shares of small and medium-sized firms. They each made an average of 190 trades over the six weeks. Organisers gave the parrot seven chances to pick shares over the same period. "Our experiment proved that making long-term investments in blue chips is safe and effective," Chung said. http://news.sky.com/home/world-news/article/15356167
