We did the same thing with ours. The pins, in case you're ultimately curious, are simple. Pin 8, just like a lot 16-pin TTL ICs, goes to ground. Pin 5 is autonomous, pin 6 is disable, and pin 12 is practice mode.
Essentially, we took a 15-pin gameport connector and soldered some leads to it that eventually ran to a prototyping board with toggle switches hooked up to each lead and ground. That is, we wired each switch such that it would short one of the respective autonomous, disable, or practice mode pins to ground.
If anyone, for whatever reason, wants photos, ask. I found the diagram while searching for "operator interface competition port" here at ChiefDelphi.
