Re: "We Are the Champions" and GP?

As many of you keep saying "we should not have a winner... the competition is the least GP of all...".. However without the competition there is no FIRST. Honestly, what would teams do if they were told here is the game but we aren't going to have winners. How many do you think would actually want to participate?

FIRST is a competition. You have winners and losers on the field. You must keep this to drive people to be innovative.

Heck every year when the game is unvieled, i know i always think hmmm what would beatty, wildstang, and cheesypoofs do... If you take the competition away then you lose that part of the game.
