i understand where you are coming from, and i'm not trying to say the only reason for competition is to win. that is far from the truth. what i'm trying to say is that it's not about the spotlight either. i just think there is better ways of practicing. but to be honest with you, if our team was wealthy enough to do that, we definitely would, but the major question is "is it the right thing to do?"
