This is where the game really falls short. Other than for earning a trophy, crowns mean very little. They are supposed to be an incentive for other players to go back and try to regain 1st place. That just doesn't happen unless a player has an OCD. In Elite Mode, earning rings does not go towards either the trophy for gold medal count or pet shops. So what is the incentive on playing Elite Mode? You can play EM to earn higher coin counts, earn extra XP, and, if you earn the gold ring, to have the extra stars to buy 3 more burgers. The only reason I play EM is to have something to play while either waiting for the stupid analyses to finish or getting reports to open a new case.
