I definitely agree with that. At the Ohio competition people were wayyy to serious about not talking lol. I suppose the competition is about personal skills for some and team* for others, and not about working together for learning. Its basically [and crudely put] showing off in my opinion.

*the teams don't accurately represent workplace teams because you *generally* don't start off knowing eachother and eachother's skills before you get the problem.

Caution, accuracy not included =)

[edit]
the state officers thing they do at the state level was kinda way over my head. my school is like yeah we're there and we compete but we have no idea what anybody else does there with the officers/representatives stuffs >.<
