That is really a good competition (maybe the first one?).
James, will the final web application be load tested using Loadrunner?
Once I worked with some developers in Banglore on web applications. The final product cannot handle more than 10 connections and we spend lots of time (more than the time they developed it) to fix it.

Sorry for the late reply.
I'm not sure I would want to take points away from a team that did a great
job, but due to their slow laptop (that they brought) they can only handle X
number of concurrent users.
I think the main goal of this is to get together, write some code, and have
some fun. And secondly, bragging rights (at least until the next "Put Up or
Shut Up" event).
