Couple things:

I reject the idea that the number of years in FIRST shows how much you understand about the spirit of FIRST. Thats just absurd, a freshman can understand the purpose of FIRST just as clearly as a 10 year veteran. So don't say 'You are just a rookie, you don't understand the spirit of FIRST.' Thats really really obnoxious. Both veteran teams and rookie teams have established pregame plans, so don't let it turn into a veteran vs rookie thing.

Second, don't agree to a deal with an opponent and not carry through on it. If you don't think the deals are gracious professionalism then don't go with them. Making any kind of deal with no intention of following through on it is in no way gracious or professional, its a lie. That is far far worse then any pregame deal.

If you make a deal, follow through, don't ever agree to something just to stick it to the other alliance. That really pisses me off.
