Give up comp-comp competition... it would force programmers to focus on things that really matters as now (and this has been true since day one in CC) they are forced to do well in comp-comp as this is the measuring rod a program is judged. I frankly believe that if there was no comp-comp competition nowadays programs would be more intelligent. But wait... comp-comp is fun too, don't abolish that!
