And Kamen's underlying insight to this was that our culture currently celebrates sports success and young people dream of being professional athletes, so let's use that same approach to celebrate something more useful.

But do we have to do it exactly like them? We have a competition and I think playing with the structure is a valid way to try to achieve our goals. Also our goals don't usually align with most other sports so I can see us not using the exact same system.
