It seems to me that this would qualify as a game of skill, not a game of chance—which presumably negates the bond requirement.

If I were to bet on it, I'd say someone at Autodesk was being overly cautious about the contest terms, or instead, copied the boilerplate text from a game of chance (like software giveaway based on random selection).
