Members of the three largest academies and [[gnomes]] (and occasionally other [[races]]) from all over the world gather at the <span class="FORCELINK">Clockwork Academy</span> on <span class="FORCELINK">[[Mistone]]</span> to explain their inventions and compete for the honor of being the Chief Engineer. The inventions are displayed and points are awarded by the contestgoers. From this, the top 10 inventions are selected. Then the current chief, and the first, second, and third engineer to the chief, review them and select winners to succeed them based solely on the inventions shown. To curb favoritism, these four are not given the identities of the inventors. After the new chief and runners-up have won, applications for the positions below them up to assistant are submitted and they select their choices from those applicants. The remaining tinkers are the inventors who form the bulk of the academies.

There are no elections in the voting sense; a new Chief Engineer and his three runners-up win their positions in the Stupendous Competition of Layonara's Most Innovative Inventions for the Glory of Goran. This contest is held every 20 years on 13 Oclar. Members of the three largest academies and [[gnomes]] (and occasionally other [[races]]) from all over the world gather at the Clockwork Academy on [[Mistone]] to explain their inventions and compete for the honor of being the Chief Engineer. The inventions are displayed and points are awarded by the contestgoers. From this, the top 10 inventions are selected. Then the current chief, and the first, second, and third engineer to the chief, review them and select winners to succeed them based solely on the inventions shown. To curb favoritism, these four are not given the identities of the inventors. After the new chief and runners-up have won, applications for the positions below them up to assistant are submitted and they select their choices from those applicants. The remaining tinkers are the inventors who form the bulk of the academies.
 It is possible for someone to apply for and remain in their position every contest cycle. The third engineer to the second engineer to the first engineer to the chief, Wibblie Gizwhack, has been in his position for 199 years running. However, while a chief engineer and runners-up can win their positions more than once, they may not compete in the years they leave office, forcing a 20-year skip between stints. In the event of a [[death]] in the hierarchy, everyone is bumped up a notch until the next contest.
