well, as befits some people's narrow world view, I might remind some that not all "Teams" are related to games... my sister was part of a Trauma Team at the hospital, but they were not in any competition with the High Acuity Care Team!. And not all numbers reflect a score in a game. When the doctor tells you 160/95... for pity sakes, man... it isn't a challenge to BEAT that! And well, I dunno how to explain different levels given to people who have been around longer... perhaps if some had experienced more than one grade, they might understand that school, for example, where levels are awarded, is not necessarily a competition.

BC... have you every experienced something where participation was its own reward?
