(And note that I am not saying FIRST is "forcing" them together--the teams still have a choice, but now they get a more explicit reward.) The GDC apparently decided this was the case when they designed this year's game. I am suggesting a couple steps further to accomplish the GDC's goal.

Can't it be argued that the same thing would happen even if there was some form of presesason announcement?
