Masters, Indy, and Poor Billy

[Hans Brakob]

POOR analogy.

In the Indy, the Masters, and other similar "top level" endeavors, their 
are a limited number of players selected on the basis of previous proven 
outstanding performance, and each is a "serious" contender to place in the 
top brackets.  None are there for the "enjoyment".
  
If we ran contests on that basis, the contest need not be 48 hours long, 
because all the "serious" guys could work each other on every band from DC 
to Daylight in about an hour.  The serious players need the "Sunday 
drivers" on the track in order to score.

The objective of the "24-hour" sub-category is intended to entice the 
"Sunday drivers" to take more than just 3 laps around the track, but rather 
stay around longer, and add to the scores of the serious players.  What is 
wrong with a trophy for the "Best Sunday Driver"?  Sure doesn't tarnish the 
tropy won by the "real" winner.
