By the second match of finals, for me, it wasn't about winning. It was about having fun and helping the teams.

Seems like the reward was a motivating factor for this student. He should never have had this thought come to mind at a regional. It is disturbing that a student chose to play differently because of monetary incentive. I find it insane that you guys think its ok to bribe these students.

Were the other drive teams pressured into agreeing with this? Were the other teams also thinking about their future rather than the competition at hand? If the answer to any of these questions is yes than the reward was a resounding failure. Students should not be put into situations where they have to change how they compete in order receive monetary benefits.
