Let's all work together to make sure all teams get the most bang for their buck this week! FIRST has been doing an amazing job of making things more team centric over the past year, I have complete faith that they'll make the right decision here and get us more qualifying matches.
We'll be right there with you guys if we need to make this happen.

I'll add to this discussion as well. With only ~100 teams making eliminations out of 400 attending, we should be doing everything in our power to squeeze out more matches for teams. St. Louis is a long way to travel for almost everyone attending. Tons of time and effort and money go into getting that far, and while we don't JUST come to compete on the field, it is certainly a key part of it.

I hope FIRST goes the extra mile and squeezes another match out for teams.
