For those complaining about the new Youth Protection Guidelines please ask yourselves the following:

How many students being molested by an Adult is too many? Do you really think that this has never happened in FIRST? Is it really not worth your time to further guarantee the safety of the youth involved?

Yes, the video is long and asking for your SSN in intrusive but the SSN is what is used to do a limited criminal history check. This has been done in other youth organizations for some time (Boy Scouts for example). Ask BSA how much it cost them when they did NOT have a solid youth protection program implemented.

For those concerned with the selling of data the opt out process is simple.

On an unrelated note....Last years game was GREAT (The best in the last three seasons)....It forced teams to work together
