Re: 2001 Lesson Learned: The Negative

Yeah, I'd agree with the seating thoughts, Robby. I only saw one potential red, though, and I think it might have been on a division field.

What I think FIRST really messed up on was communication. Probably 3/4 of the negative comments surrounding the Championship were because there was no clear-cut reason given for the field move. Now that we know that FTC moved one FRC field and the concert made the transitions "easier" than figuring out one field, I honestly think that 75% of the negative comments could have been avoided by somewhat clearer communication from HQ. Ditto for timing of communication and some other similar things. (We can debate elsewhere whether FTC really had to bump an FRC field due to space.)

We asked for transparency. They gave us that. Now, can communication come along with transparency? I hope so.
