Well, IMO, it promotes the fact that it's okay or acceptable to perform poorly if you can still get a trophy.

As a Coach(not you personally), if you're stating that it's okay to be the losers bracket "Champion", then it tells me that you are willing to settle for less and are content with poor performances and losing. That is not a Coach or program that I want my kid playing for.
