Re: Paper Airplanes

The paper airplanes need to stop. I was on the floor of the arena, and custodians were having to sweep constantly to keep the area clean before ceremonies begin. There was a huge pile of paper (I'm talking easily 100) that did not include the ones they couldn't get to all around the floor.

Yes, Einstein does go on for a long time. FIRST has been actively trying to shorten it as much as possible, but several factors must be considered:
a. Einstein practice matches - trying to ensure against connection issues
b. Sponsor recognition - giving sponsors the ability to present the awards
c. Match cycle times - there's only so fast you can go, especially with wanting to get rulings and counts right.
