Paid judges, too? Then you must be talking about wanting to pay $10k per competition also.
...I never said a thing about judges, so please don't make assumptions. If a team doesn't do a job to the best of their ability, do their mentors give them slack because they're not getting paid, and because what they do isn't required of them? No, their mentors call them on their failures. It's how people learn. If the refs were paid, or had more at stake in this competition, maybe we'd see better results out of them.
