Army Best Warrior Competition! Can/should you win if you have never deployed?

I am interested to see what everyone thinks. Should you have atleast one deployment under your belt to win? I knows few soldiers who have attended who never deployed, purely because they were pipelines into a unit that does not deploy. Should this disqualify them? Is there job any less important? Should they have there own competition? Just curious about others thoughts! Thanks for your input!

I am undecided myself. I think if you were selected to attend the competition at all, you must be an outstanding soldier!

Are one of the prerequisites that you have to be a combat veteran? If not, then No! Think about it. Will this competition end when the last deployed soldiers ETS/Retire out? I don't think so. A Soldier is still a Soldier with or w/o a combat patch.
