Something to note is that "the students are competing against a standard, and accumulate points for the competition". This year two teams that were only one point away from gold. It's good to know this isn't just some fluff event that hands out fuzzy awards just for participating. Everything is earned through hard work. I think that's important to prepare the students for what they will face in the highly competitive food industry.
