As Allen mentioned earlier, this makes things complicated for 3847 because all of the girls on our team are from a non-UIL school, St Agnes.

This is not completely correct. Central Catholic here in San Antonio is an UIL school.
5986 hopes to get an invite. That being said, I can see where this is a double edged sword. Although the rookie team I am running now is not excluded, I am also a home-schooling parent, a scout leader, and a mentor from a prior team that this will exclude.
There are already some serious additional challenges that a non-school based team has to overcome. Widening that gap is not the way to go.
In the future I hope that the UIL rules/competition will stay the same as FRC's. It is already hard enough to sustain an FRC program as it is without dividing the resources to meet multiple goals.
