The aim of the contest is to hopefully instill some kind of good planning habits so that when you start other projects you are more likely to finish them if you incrementally build on features.
We've all been in the situation where you start a really ambitious project, but due to lack of planning it just blows up in you face and you get frustrated and give up. By breaking things up into manageble/chewable pieces you achieve smaller goals which motivates you to meet the next set of goals. Success breeds success.

We hope everyone is getting something out of it.
