This is a more fair way of the sponsoring system.
For example, every time you win a match you get your kill points and such, but you also get 3 golden apples (or other number). They arent in your inventory, but by doing /records you can check how many you are free to give to other players. Once you win the game and get a couple of these, you can send these to the tributes when you become a spectator. That way it's only by being a winner that you can become a sponsor.
This could also be an add on to the Support Message idea posted a couple days ago, where you can send a message to a tribute saying " ______ is rooting for you!" or whatever. Instead of just sending it to them, you send it to them with a golden apple! That would also fix the problem of being able to spam a player, in a better way than just being able to say it once.
EDIT: Maybe there should be a time limit for it. You can only send this golden apple within 1 minute of the sponsor refill. I know this would nerf some big teams, but it's only for that 1 minute. And whoever has the cornucopia is already getting nerfed with all those chests there.
Also, maybe each person can only get one sponsorship per night. (in game)
ANOTHER EDIT: Maybe you should be able to get mob spawning eggs, so something like 2 golden apples and one random spawn egg from the main few mobs (spider, skeleton, creeper, zombie). You wouldn't be able to spawn these in punching range of a zombie, so you could only spawn them at least 5-10 blocks away from the tribute(s)
PLEASE REPLY TO EDIT IN ADDITION!
I know this is in the No No Suggestions. I still think it's a good idea though.
