Competition made with Gravity Forms

    I am going to create a competition-page where users can upload their progress in a gravity form.

    - I create a webpage where i set up user accounts.
    - The users are given login and a pedometer! (hehe)
    - Once every week the users log in and fill in a form with the number of steps they have on their pedometer. They might also be asked to attach an image as proof of their progress.

    I also want to make a top-list that displays the top-5 participants. The ones that have registered most steps.

    Can this be done with Gravity Forms?

    Gravity Forms can collect the user data, but to display a top list, or to keep leads attached to users, that will require custom coding.

    Maybe if a post is created every time form is filled out like so:
    - Title: {user-id}+{date}
    - Body: Here the user fills in their progress in steps like: 12432
    - Category: {user-id}

    If the above can be done, then the rest is coding. Accessing database. Maybe like this: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-up-the-values-of-custom-fields

    You can totally create WordPress posts like that. The only difficult part will be creating the hook to combine the user-id and date fields in the title, and creating the categories for each of your users.
