Limiting the time
With the surge in practice that your Practice Championships will produce, it 
might be tempting to think about having a competition permanently in place. Resist this temptation though—you'll strip the competition of the very thing that gives it its impact, and your practice goose will quickly start laying ungilded eggs again.
It's the reason that the Olympic Games is not an annual event. The fact that it only happens every four years adds enormously to the sense of occasion and drama—nothing would devalue the concept of a Gold Medal faster than knowing that another chance to get one is just around the corner.
So limit your practice championships to being a biennial event at most, so that you can hype it in advance, epilogue it once it's gone, and ensure it's imbued with an air of mystique when it's here.
