I am sorry after the age of 10 IMO there are no need for "participation trophies"
At some point, the lesson has to be learned that hard work is rewarded not "just showing up"
And by the way some of the awards that are given out nowadays at tourney are rediculous to be honest. Local 6th grade football team won their "conference" parents bought them rings. Really????
And the team trophy was bigger than the one given out by the state for the HS state championship.
It's the snowflake syndrome. Everyone is unique. Everyone is special. Nobody should fail. Nobody should feel bad about themselves. If someone/something upsets you we should "fix" it so you're happy. IDK... Guess I'm getting old.
