Re: [FRC Blog] Two Championship Survey Results and Path Forward

Another way of looking at these results is that 55% oppose two championships, 12% are neutral, and only 33% favor two championships. To me, that’s is a much more powerful statement about how the community really feels.
I have read all the posts on this thread, but I'm hoping that this point got a lot more attention than it did on the first page. The way FIRST collected data and they way they have presented it in this blog post is legitimately very misleading. The number of negative options versus the number of positive options really rubs me the wrong way.
