Re: From Bill's Blog: Merits of replacing bronze participation medals
It is nice to be able to give members of the team a medal that haven't been able to travel to the event. Usually on a day shortly following a regional, students wear their team shirt and their medals to school. It is also nice to give one to a sponsor or supporter.
I love the idea of the pins and those could become treasured as well, especially if they are game specific like the Lunacy pin I received. That was just cool.
Downside, I could see people giving away the pins more readily than they do the participation medals or losing them and then regretting that as time passes.
