We run a private board for Advent of Code for the Carolina Code Conference. Eligibility for prizes starts after earning only 10 of 50 possible stars precisely for this reason.

Oh cool. I live in WNC and had just missed your last conference in August. Is it possible to join multiple private boards? I usually do one with my coworkers as well

You can only “own” one board, but you can join many.

Yep. I’m running a little behind but the announcement will come out later today on our site/email list.

That's awesome. We do the exact same thing for prize eligibility on my work leaderboard. The whole point is for it to be fun and challenging. No need to grind to the end unless you want to.
