Yes, as with a lot of competitions it will be a bit subjective we will have an MVP judge the this and publish the winners.
If you are talking about taking an existing tip from the web somewhere and submitting it, it is obviously impossible to totally prevent this but yes we would be running a check for originality.
Just posted the winners at http://www.sql-server-performance.com/competition/tip_august_2007_winners.aspx Well done all.
