In the past, the idea was that the same person would keep starting the GDTs during a win streak. Then after a loss, anyone else could give it a go.

From a superstitious standpoint, the system is doomed to fail by design every time. So the point was actually more to test your luck and see how high you can rack up your streak, and anyone rude enough to interrupt would be mocked, scorned, and frowned upon.

Seems kinda dated now though, I must say.

No, dummy, the newbies don't know about it at all and are the ones getting targeted for ruining it. Its heyday was back during in the 60-win seasons when people were racking up long win streaks.
