Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/2013 Championship Registration/2013 FRC Season Dates and Deadline
***CLARIFICATION***
Mr. Lim... certainly the FRC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP is AWESOME and _desirable_ to compete at, BUT I believe entry should feel-exclusive and be _tough_ to obtain... NO LESS than it is in the 2013 Regional format.
IF in the District model, teams that you say are CMP-caliber but don't normally qualify because they don't WIN their Regionals NOW get to go to CHAMPIONSHIP _regularly_... HOW does that help with the team's development to excellence?!
In the District Model by broadening the amount of teams in a bounded geographic-region that can go to CMP, aren't you LOWERING-the-bar of entry?
HOW does that do any good for students in their quest to problem-solve to excellence/competitiveness... to strive to be #1?!
