Totally agree. Nothing kills an event like a game announcer/emcee that doesn't know what they're talking about.
In my opinion the best announcers for qualifiers tend to be alumni or people who have worked with FTC in the past. Even if they aren't entirely knowledgeable about that year's game, they at least have a frame of reference from previous competitions.
