Outlanding Award - Feedback Requested

There was an outlanding competition in germany for many years which has been discontinued for a while now. There were two categories. Best outlanding story and most outlandings. The idea originated in a statement in Helmut Reichmann's book saying that you should plan tasks to your maximum abilities and take into account regular outlandings. Thats basically saying if your not landing out regularly your not pushing hard enough. From this perspective a prize for a lot of outlandings is not a poor pilots award. It is rather a promotion of outlandings being part of the game and encouraging pilots to readily take into account an off field landing. I have seen a few pilots who feel that an outlanding is an embarrassing failure. Thats absolute nonsense. A lot of world class pilots got there by countless outlandings. TOTALLY AGREE!!
