Don't think that it's not on DGtrials' "Things to do 'Fo Real!" list.

I'm not saying that anything is or isn't going to happen (Kyle is #1 man for that), but we'd need to ensure that people would show up in enough force and numbers that a competition would be worth it. If you wanted it Option style, like with a practice/qualify session followed by top 16, 8, 4, 2 and final battle, that is one thing, tandem is probably beyond the restrictions of our insurance (as well as the equipment of the drivers - who all has Halon systems, cages and such?). To do a morning practice session followed by elimination, track time for the drivers who will be cut will be very limited. Additionally, if it were individual runs on a playoff-style setup (as would be most exciting for spectators and drivers), we can't have people whining that they didn't get as many runs as someone else or complaining about the judges or some crap like that.

If DG were to run something like this, judges would be no problem, and we could provide a PA and find an announcer.

Are you thinking prizes, or just bragging rights?

Once again, this isn't to say that DG is or isn't planning something, but merely just to further discuss the idea of a comp.
