That's totally fair, I think it makes sense to remove the opponents at least and to add something along the lines of "if you are getting multiple grails at events, you might be playing on questions that are too easy for your team's level."

"Haha, look at all these bad teams that couldn't answer a single tossup, most likely because their opponent was playing a tournament they should have known better than to enter in the first place!"
