Maybe they want to make you use a parachute or other method of slowing the bottle down on descent so that there is less danger from a rocket going lawndart.

You'd still want to use a 'chute even if there wasn't an egg, as parachute = slower descent = greater time aloft = better score = higher place.

i would prefer no shoot, it makes the event a little harder, and it made bottle rockets more fun, anyways the lawndart rockets were the best ones.

They are easy to tell if they broke. Less work, and cheap? I am just assuming.

That's true. But still, don't you have to provide your own egg?
