I see where the Israeli teams are coming from. Having only one competition to introduce new people and sponsors to FRC is stressful, especially when the game still has major flaws that needed to be fixed. I could see this eroding interest and support by new sponsors who went to the regional thinking that FRC still has major flaws with the competition aspect.
I am glad that FIRST addressed most if not all the problems to this years game, but sadly for all but a few Israeli teams, their competition season is over.
