People keep pointing to this, but WHO are these mentors? Yes, I see a lot of talk here, a lot of people upset, but I see ALSO a lack of comment from many more well-respected mentors and members from HOF teams.

I keep seeing people pointing out how upset SO many people are, but there's just as many, if not more, people who are NOT commenting and instead are waiting for more information.

It's important that people make their opinions known if it makes themselves feel better, but it's just as important to NOT exaggerate or make it seem like ALL OF FIRST is upset about this.

Not that I'm a HOF mentor, or WFFAA, or even "well-respected" by many, but I'm not worried about this development at all. Having gone through the transition to districts TWICE (once in Michigan and now once in Indiana), what I see more than anything is that once change happens, FRC teams are adaptable, despite analyzing and agonizing about it when it first is announced.
