Re: MN State Tournament Selection Process

It would definitely be interesting, but I see a few problems:
  • As you pointed out, volunteers need to take more time off
  • Some schools aren't as keen to take students out of school, especially around May
  • The number of non-team spectators would drop to near 0


We tried to get a fan bus to attend last year, the school was supportive but students didn't want to give up a Saturday, they travel on school days for other sports.

Thankfully there were a few car-loads that came and had a blast. Plus their eyes were opened as to what FIRST and FRC was all about.
