One of the best players I have ever met, no longer goes into these contests. His answer as to why?: "They are too frustrating as it boils down to luck not skill."

Overall competence can get a player to the top 100, dumb luck is what the winners have that day.

Why not play for ROI? Only you will be responsible for winning or losing by your skill set. One does not need to make those efforts public.

A real contest would simply give each player a set amount of capital, let them play all the tracks (any way, or any denomination that was inside the capital limit), recording all the wagers to make sure they were legal. The person with the most $$$$$$ at the end of the day is the BEST PLAYER that day.
