Before this post gets ridiculously long and my post gets lost in the midst of it I'd like to ask this question to anyone who can answer it. I tried searching the archives for the answer, but my search results were so numerous that there was no way I could sort through them all to determine which had relevant information.

Anyways, I was just looking for information on what these open challenges were all about? I see them all the time and I assumed they were some kind of contest to see who can play the most hands? I really don't know much more than that though. Could someone tell me a little bit about them? Who can enter? What's the risk/reward? What are the rules? And any other information you think a newbie would need to know. Thanks in advance.

You pretty much have it. At the beginning of the month, you're paired with another opponent, seeing who can play the most hands that month. People are grouped by expected # of hands (e.g., I expect 12-15K this month, so Cnfuzzd pairs me up with someone else with a similar expectation).

Each week, you report in the # of hands you've played thusfar that month - it's on the honor system, though you can submit a PokerTracker screenshot, if you wish. Winner gets to choose the avatar/location for the loser.

That's about it.
