that positive performance

In the early days of the Sports Class Nationals a deceased pilots family donated a "Perseverance Trophy", in memory of their father who always tried and never quit, but usually ended up on the bottom of the score sheet. Nice thought, but who wants to be recognized as the one who really tried and couldn't hack it? I believe the trophy was awarded only once and the precipitant stuffed it in a trash can.
I concluded from the above that poor performance should not be highlighted and recognition should be given to good actions like Best Crew of the year or Most interesting retrieve, etc. Recognizing a really good land-out is highlighting an unsuccessful event. We set forth to complete the assigned task, not to do a really good job of failing to do so.
