The obvious pros would be the prize money, the fame, and perhaps the opportunity to sell the EA to buyers who have deep pockets. As for the cons... I am concerned that once I release a copy of any program I write, the possibility exists for unauthorized use.
I am interested to know what other programmers think about entering their EAs in the contest? What are the pros and cons, and would you enter if you thought you had a chance to win?

I definitely would - and intend to have more than 1 contender ready for the next championship, which I read Metaquotes said WOULD take place same time this year. Why? well, for the money of course and when you consider that the Zonker 'pretend' EA came close to scooping the prize, I reckon that something that even traded randomly would stand a fair chance. I'd be happy to sell that one to the highest bidder if it won....
