FIRST did what they have done for four years when these kind of issues have occured. Give maximum one round of replay and then proced with the matches regardless of the result.
These actions are not fair to the teams on the field, winners and losers, it is unfair to the teams that competed and have already been eliminated, but most importantly it is not fair to the kids who worked so hard all season just to have it come to an end like that.
As great it is to say that we use this cool crio from NI, it is not worth this. I fear that spreading the word of FIRST has become the word of FIRST instead of teaching kids life lessons. What happened on Saturday was a result of a decision made by FIRST 4 years ago that was not in the spirit of FIRST.
It is my opinion, and I know I am not alone, that it is time for a serious change to the control system because enough is enough. It is also my opinion that FIRST needs to remedy what happened on einstein by awarding the championship to all 12 teams on einstein, but this is something that I don't think there is a chance they will do.
A big move needs to be made by FIRST here and if it isn't done I suspect much fallout in the frc community with more teams just going over to do vex.
