The FLGS I play the most at has a policy in the case of a draw, the better painted army wins. It has an effect of raising the standard.

Now that's a pretty dandy idea, although I can see it being wholly inappropriate for a friendly tournament.
It's a nice way to award effort, though.

I will only field models I've finished painting. If I'm dieing to field a new unit, it's a great way to get me to finish them.
And that doesn't mean I half-ass or rush it; same, high standards every time. Just do a bit during loading screens for videogames.

Besides, I feel a need to show up the daemon armies that look vomited upon, and the Stormsurge legs with rocket banks hidden in them.
