Re: FIRST $CASH$ prize...
There is a lot of issues associated with having cash prizes. I think maybe having the team get a free regional registration or something might be an interesting reward. I think many teams do really well and then disappear due to sponsor difficulties and lack of funding. I think however that there is more than enough motivation without having competition prizes for teams to perform well.
I also agree with Cory that there should be focus on getting students all of the existing available opportunities that are not always taken advantage of. |
