Do the NHL teams:

1. All use the same equipment?
2. Play on the same rink?
3. Play on a level rink?
4. Play against high school teams?

Ask yourself how exciting the games would be if 1-3 were "no" and 4
was "yes". Fans would stay away in droves and even the players who won
all the time would get bored.

The thing that makes radio contests so exciting and so much fun is the
competition, not the easy win.
