Concerns

For about an hour now I have been reading posts from the AZ regional...to my dismay a great many of them voice concerns about "fixing matches" and ruining the spirit of FIRST. There has also been mention of this happening (although more obscurely, and less frequesntly) at annapolis. Is it happening at every regional? If so is FIRST planning to let it continue through nationals or are they going to do something about it? I am also worried because if this happened at AZ, which is a 37 robot regional, what is going to happen at one of the largest (67 robots) regionals (Great Lakes) this weekend? I know that this regional has several high quality teams that believe in FIRST (ie Teams 47, 71, 65, 67, 68, just to name a few). What do those of you attending this regional think? I think we should all come to an agreement, before the first match begins, not to do it. Let me know what you think!
