Sentence construction

Does anyone understand the meaning of this sentence? "The bi-annual speech contests held by Toastmasters International public speaking clubs might level of competition." 115.189.27.183 (talk) 09:47, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

It appears to have been:

The bi-annual speech contests optionally held by Toastmasters International public speaking clubs may include a Tall Tales contest. Each participating speaker is given three to five minutes to give a short speech of a tall tale nature, and is then judged according to several factors. The winner and runner-up proceed to the next level of competition. The contest does not proceed beyond any participating district in the organization to the International level.

before someone modified it. Either way I'm not sure it's overly relevant to the article. Fat&Happy (talk) 16:00, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
