The NMRA contests and achievement programs have a couple of purposes. One is to draw some models out for their meetings to attract attendees. Another is to improve modelling standards and techniques. The MMR program is designed to induce the modeller to work in different parts of the hobby. Some people respond to a bit of competition but note that the MMR only requires a certain standard (you don't have to place first) and a lot of the areas are not competitive -- you have to wire a layout but not neatly, just so it works.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.
