Quote:Because everyone including the kids that got the trophies would be getting the "participation paper"; it would serve almost as a "thanks for playing" kinda thing. The real superlatives of the team would still be the only one getting the trophies as recognition of being superior players. 

I think this is three today. I agree. This is getting old.... :yes:  And it is three separate threads at that!

 

Anyway, it's not necessarily for being superior. It's to show what hard work can do for you. It gives other players something to strive for, to work toward. It helps to develop and mold leadership qualities, as well as qualities to be a good follower which is just as important if not more than being a good leader.
