The sword cuts both ways, so to speak. Honorable mention can also make not winning more painful in 2 ways. First, and this happened to us last year at the Championship, if you are not the winner and do not receive honorable mention, you might now feel like, "Gee, not only did we not win, but we're not even in the top 4!". With no honorable mention there can sometimes be comfort in thinking that maybe you were just a bit shy of the winner perhaps finished second. On the other hand, I could see where being announced as a runner-up could be painful too, because of the feeling that you must have been so close and barely missed it.

Maybe I'm wrong and no one feels this way, but I'm just trying to point out that expanding the number of teams recognized could have unintended side-effects. What if you had a regional that had only a handful of submissions? How would a team feel if there were five submissions, and a winner and three runner-ups were announced, effectively leaving one team in last place?
