Another thing that is great about this event is that the Leaderboard is just for fun; you won't get any additional rewards for being in the Top 10, etc. That's been a point of contention on other pet sites, so I'm glad they took that lesson to heart when creating this event.
A lot of hard work, dedication, and creativity went into this event, so I hope there are lots of people having fun with it like I am. They'll look at your feedback and see what they can do better next time, I'm sure. Maybe it won't be quite so many points to Elite, who knows.
