EDIT: For clarification I'm not in support of participation or loser awards.
You misunderstood... or as most people do... you assume that Rewards = Profit.

That just isn't the case. Money isn't everything... it really isn't! A trophy for first place is exactly that... just a trophy, usually. But it has this carved in it...

1st Place

(catch my drift? or i'll put it this way...)

Higher personal expectations...

Higher personal achievements...

Higher personal rewards!!!
