Why not both? There's room in the average Monks' heart for warm & fuzzy-ness, but cutthroat competition can be fun, too. I mean, the site's goal (or one of the many goals) is to teach and allow all the monks to share their skills; so cooperative contests (each team must have one member from each level through monk, or something like that) would fit in well.
On the other hand, one-on-one competition is a lot of fun, and who knows? Some of us newbies just might surprise you.

I see your point, but given that the site is run pretty much by one overworked dude, I don't know how feasible it is.

I guess that some kind of Management By Delegation should be possible. Maybe vroom could delegate this task to a friar or abbot who gets to decide the "winners".
I don't know much about the demographics of the monastery, so I don't know how many friars and abbots we have that don't already have administrative tasks to fulfill, maybe even some monks could take this job.
I don't think that additional structural changes in the engine would be necessary at the start, these dedicated sisters and brothers could simply /MSG or email vroom their decisions (if we want delegation to work, these persons must have some power, so it's decisions and not proposals :)).
