Yes. And everyone who participates should receive a trophy!
;-)
I’ll take a participation trophy! (my math skills were so bad I would grasp at any straw as I fell off of that knowledge cliff!)
Not too proud to accept that!
When I was nine year old, I played basketball in a league in Yokosuka Naval Base, and at the awards ceremony at the end of the year with hundreds of kids there, I got a trophy all of my own...
It was the “Tries Hardest” trophy! (it actually said that)
Now, I was happy to get it at the time, but with the passage of time, I came to realize it was probably the trophy they gave to the most hopeless and uncoordinated kid in the entire league (since I spend most of my time on the floor scrabbling around for loose balls instead of dribbling, passing, or shooting!)
Fortunately, it took enough years to figure it out that I can view it with somewhat proud amusement, instead of viewing from a depressed kid viewpoint as the booby prize for the most inept player in the league!
