A couple of questions, what happens to the money if the totally bomb? Could we have it set up that if the place in a certain spot, the money goes to the player, and if they don't make the cut, the money goes to the FIO? This would be promoting winning over learning which i don't think we want to do.
Overall, I like the idea though!

If the player is not in the top 10, then it is a gamble on the part of the sponsor, they get listed in an over all competitors type of list, but they don't get the extra splash of advertising that would come from winners circle. Also, if their pony lost, their money would go directly to contributions of the FIO org. Only the top 10 would get splash recognition, like an extra ad per level in the top 10 positions with 10 being 1 ad more than remainder and incrementing to first place.
Winning over learning, I would say that this would reward those who learned to play well. Also, we could have another one that would be sponsor voted most learned or most educated growth or something like that. It would be an award from the sponsors where they think that the persons learning has improved over a period of time (more than one competiton I would suggest).
This way, we would be rewarding those who learn to win and those who learn the most.
