Thank you, I’m genuinely considering making a petition or something along those lines to change it.

To me it hits along the lines of giving every kid from every sports team a trophy for coming in middle or last, rather than rewarding the actual winners who put forth the effort. All this does is to teach the ones who don't try is that they don't have to, which is counter productive to everything else they'll be faced with in life. This is just the opposite, but just as ridiculous.

Exactly! There is no incentive to get better if everyone gets a prize. And people that don’t care about it won’t try for it, so there’s no reason to take it away for “the people that don’t win” the whole point is to have competition, that’s what brings motivation, not top ten percent.
