Either you score and use the outcome, or you don't > score at all. we can score it, and give the sheets back to the captains. then, say it's scored out of 16, we then publish all the teams with 1-10 and call that 'Band B Spirit' and publish the names of all teams with 11-16 as 'Band A Spirit'. there just shouldn't be an outright winner! i think i've given good reasons for that. then we get general info, more than one team gets recognition, captains get more detailed feedback - everybody wins!
