All in all, a win. Thanks AndyMark!

Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?
 

The priority list + draft process has been a huge win, in my opinion.

Putting together the priority list is a bit of an interesting and tricky problem, but it's a very fair way to run the process without introducing the fast fingers + fast internet lottery aspect.

Thanks to AndyMark and all of the donors for this opportunity to acquire all of these useful items.

Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?
 

I have to admit I didn't spend a lot of time doing this. But the way to play game is balancing your wants against the number available. For example something you really want, but has a large number available might be lower on your priority than something you want less but had fewer available. The numbers are there but you have to guess as to the popularity. Given the constraints, I am happy with the system. Much better than those with the fastest fingers & internet wins. :)
