Thanks to Frank for explaining the situation and trying to make it right. Mistakes happen to everyone, and it is how we deal with them that shows our true character. We can all learn a lot about how to deal with a bad situation from the actions of 1323 and Frank these past couple of days.

It stinks for other teams that, for one reason or another, also had their seasons prematurely shortened. I am not in a position to say that these teams are any less deserving of a spot at the Championships, but I am just glad that in this case FIRST got it right.
