Two delegates per team, one books the hotel and buys the meals, drinks and the other absorbs the pampering until its his (or her) turn in the spotlight.
On the big day, disciplines are similar to Crufts, like running around obstacles, jumping almost impossible hurdles and sitting quietly when told
to. Back patting and paper rosettes are handed out liberally.
That same evening, the management stream get together to award 'best-of-breed'. Alcohol is bought liberally and there is much back-biting.

[-] pet shows and competitions show off the strong points of breeds... if you want a science-nerd pet show, you're going to need something with sliderules. |

From the idea //disciplines are similar to Crufts, like running around obstacles, jumping almost impossible hurdles and sitting quietly when told to.// |

It's figurative language. I don't really know what constitutes a nerdy discipline these days, but probably nothing with sliderules old-timer. |

wouldn't the "pets" be robots, hybrid plants and alien creatures? I'm all for pitting aliens against one another or heliotropic speed contests, but this idea needs a bit more development. |

No. The nerds are the pets otherwise it's just like a nerdy competition. |

oh , ah, um I see, disregard last comment. |

This would obviously be "White-hat". Otherwise you would have named it "..Nerd-pit fighting..." |
