In Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Holland and Italy there are no participation trophies - but there is plenty of scorekeeping - in youth league soccer.

But in the US, participation trophies - and even no scorekeeping - is commonplace in youth baseball and football.

Not only are there not participation trophies, in professional soccer, if your team sucks, you get relegated.

Here, we give teams that suck higher draft picks.
