Re: Proposal: A New Way to Run FIRST Choice
The random draft proposal sounds really good, actually. It's not that complicated of an idea to explain to people, and if you really wanted, you could run a mock draft sometime in November or something to both test the system and familiarize people with how it works. Heck, you could even send reminder emails to people who haven't submitted their draft list yet.
There's a potential problem/benefit, however:
Teams that aren't fully paid up can't participate in FIRSTChoice. There's a fair number of teams already this year that missed out on this initial rush because grants haven't cleared or similar. If the draft system moves the date up, even more teams will be left out. On the other hand, the less rushed nature of the process might mean that you could push the dates back a bit to give more teams a chance to participate.
