Personally I was hurt for various reasons... since 698 already stated that they disagree with this thread... and well I pretty much I assumed it at the competition for various and obvious reasons. I feel as if we might have been short changed.... but that's just me, not necessarly the views from other members of 234.

I'm not trying to start or continue an argument... I'm just stating my opinions, and the opinions of others. If somehow you find that offensive, well I'm sorry.. but there's not much I can do about that now... except to try to talk about this issue.. maybe come up with a new outlook or something.
Did your team enter into an agreement with Team 698 in this match?

Arizonal Regional
__Match 0043
Alliance Team Score QP
_ _Blue _ 698 _128 _322 _MICROCHIP/HHS
_ _Blue _ 606 _128 _322 _NASA/JPL/KingDrew LA
_ _Red _ 234 _ 97 _ 97 _Cyber Blue
_ _Red _ 812 _ 97 _ 97 _UCSD & PREUSS

Team 698 did stop making pre-match agreements after the petition was taken around. I think that we need to concentrate on getting agreement from the other teams on the petition, so we can make sure that we don't have a repeat of the situation at other competitions. There are too many hard feelings being generated. The fact is that the rules do not forbid talking to the opponents. Therefore we will have to get the rules changed or get the teams to agree not to do it.

We need to get this thread back to its original purpose.
