There's two good ways to go about this:
1. Everyone strong just joins a few strong Unions. There is plenty of dead weight in Ixion for example, and seeing how Drama Club dropped to... 22 people before this event, I assume clean-up was the reason why. Anyway, this way, everyone automatically gets their best rankings with minimal amount of effort.
2. Co-operation. Sharing the same amount of kills results in you all getting the #1(-#5) awards. For example, if the entire community decides that Thou Shalt Only Do 100 Ult Kills, then you can have ALL the Unions get the full Dragon Eye Shards.

Realistically speaking, I've never seen #2 come into fruition in anything other than extremely small scale. Which is why people tend to flock to tactic#1. Power begets more power.
