So while I can't argue it's necessity, the value it does provide is a universal limited time frame that's apparently significantly shorter than real world projects. I view it as a really really good opportunity to learn about project/time management.
Which doesn't go away if you lose bag and tag. Tell your sponsors you have an 8 week or 10 week build season. They are still going to be hella impressed at your time management.
