Re: why doesn't FIRST have 3rd place?
While I don't think a 3rd place is necessary, I think it would be fun to have another set of matches to watch at competition. I don't think any students have a problem spending a little more time at FRC competitions, and speaking from experience as perpetual semifinalists, being able to have that one last shot at an award would be really nice.

Overall, is it necessary? No. Practical? Maybe not. Would it be fun for all involved and a great experience for one more team per regional? Yes, yes it would.
