Re: # not returning to Dow Red Stick Rumble

I apologize for anything that team 3337 took as a slight against their team, this was not my intent. I know that you worked very hard and we appreciate it. I know your mentor cares a lot about your team and your students, he has too. You can't do this job with caring about the team and kids.

Now, put yourself into what my team experienced. They did exactly everything they needed to do to put themselves into the position to build the strongest alliance possible and at the last minute you changed the alliance selection rules that we have all played by forever in FIRST. To top that off, you also messed with the brackets so that the #1 and #2 alliance had to face off in the semi finals instead of the finals.

The disbelief that they could do exactly what they needed to do, followed our plan to the letter; and then have it stripped away by arbitrary and last minute rule changes is just unacceptable. Then when we asked the question why, we get "it is an off season event" as an answer.

Again, I didn't mean to slight team 3337 in the least, I apologize. The last thing I want, is for this to turn into students arguing about who's mentor is better. Trust me, your lucky to have us both.

I suggest that you post the rules you plan to use in future events well in advance and stick to them. Best of luck, we will see you at Bayou.

Please let this end this thread.
