I think your reading too much into it. I am simply suggesting three
trophies...that's it. I'm not suggesting any changes to an Olympic type
elimination format or anything. Everything runs exactly the same as
does today, but only three trophies are awarded regardless of the entry
numbers. The more I think about it, the more strongly I support it.
