I'm not really expecting you to do anything, just my little rant.

The easiest way I have found to import teams for drafts is going to this page:
1)
http://www.firstinspires.org/team-event-search
2)Finding the event (which is a lot faster on the new website)
3)Then copying the team information table and pasting it into excel. For me it creates a single column of cells with all of the data.
4)The last step is to sort the data from A-Z which puts the teams in order and all at the top.
