Re: PNW Exhibition Match Concerns

I wish more events (specifically District Championships due to the high level of play on the field even more so than most Championship divisions) would consider playing a special match like this.

It was a cool match to watch and while yes some teams are getting additional "practice time" this is something you really can't eliminate in FRC to completely make the playing field even. At the Championship full practice matches are run in the pits and I know last year many teams were working together to schedule matches at the same time so they could spent 6-8 minutes of teleop match time (I believe those matches were longer than normal) practicing complicated maneuvers they wanted to pull off during qualification matches.
