[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1700405, member: 22662"] When kids start knowing what they are doing, participation trophies mean nothing. First place trophies mean nothing. Went to a soccer tournament a couple months ago. Our boys lost 2 out of 3 games and finished 3rd of 4 teams in there bracket. But... The games they played were very, very well played. For the second year in a row our goalie had his "game of the year" against a team from Decatur Illinois. The last two times we played them we got killed 9-0 and 7-4. In the 7-4 game our goalie had 18 saves. This last time we played them we lost 0-1 in the final 2 minutes of the match. They didn't get a trophy or participation medal but damn they played well! Then again, I've seen teams play down a level for "a competitive edge" and smoke every team they face. What a worthless trophy that is, IMHO. [/QUOTE]
