Maybe the frustration stemmed from an assumption that they were the  

only team experiencing problems.  I think if teams realized that the a  

score in the low to mid 100's would have been competitive and a  score  

below 100 should still warrant participation we would have had higher  

enrollment numbers.



I do recall a couple of threads on the listerve that were urging teams  

to participate regardless of their scores.   Maybe if we only  

published the top 50% for the scores on the gym wall teams wouldn't  

feel so intimidated.
