I'm generally a pretty vocal critic of FIRST, particularly re: the whole VEX/IFI thing.
In this case it's total BS to insinuate that FIRST is taking a petty stance and trying to screw over VEX and your post is full of false outrage. Seriously, diagram out how you expect FIRST to not have championships on the same weekend as VEX champs.
7 weeks of regional events, one week between bag and tag day and week 1. 1 week between week 7 and Easter. 1 week between Easter and champs. Where is the time that you envision FRC Champs being held?
It doesn't exist. You have the last 7 days of April and that's it. Any earlier and build has to be less than 6 weeks. Any later and you're in AP testing. Both of those are untenable solutions.
