Re: The Competitions Major Flaw...

Posted on 3/31/99 8:56 AM MST In Reply to: The Competitions Major Flaw... posted by jake on 3/30/99 7:54 PM MST: Jake, you are right. 'being number 1 used to mean a lot more than it does now.' But, I believe that is by design. The FIRST events are competitions not tournaments. What is the different? A tournament is a series of elimination contests with the intent of producing a champion. A competition is a series of contests which allows teams to test their skills and to see how they measure up against their peers. A tournament is about winning and losing. A competition is about doing your best. Just my 2 cents, John - Team 158 |
