With an on-line component for logging/participation, one could easily compare 
one's performance to any one of several criteria without the need to officially 
sanction those as "award categories".

Using Marathon running events as an example... The "gold", "silver" and "bronze" 
medal winners are the overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers.  However...a 
50-year old competitor may wish to compare their time against other 50-year olds 
as a better guide of their accomplishment (though there may be no officially 
sanctioned medal associated with that subset of competitors).

Being able to e-submit after the event (or outright paper-submit) allows for 
this operating style/choice to be addressed.
