Also, I know that I don't speak for everyone, but as a volunteer I certainly wouldn't mind waiting a couple minutes (and there's usually at least that much downtime anyway) if it meant that teams would get a unique trophy for their achievements.

If it really comes down to it, and we're fortunate enough to win something this year, I'll personally buy a net and wrap it around the trophy. I don't want to step on anyone's toes after the whole competition is over and everyone is tired.

Also, nothing would be cooler than doing some high-energy introductions of the drive team on Einstein. It be almost as cool as just playing the matches quickly instead of breaking up the pacing with speeches...
