I guess my thought processes, being a teacher, are more about fairness and equality.
I suspect the problem was that if they opened it to everyone, they'd just plain have too many qualifiers. The line had to be drawn somewhere, so they chose there. Perhaps if you found a different way to make the same cut that was more fair to earlier competitors (without being unfair to someone else...), FIRST would consider it.
