Elimination Rebuttal
Joe, Andy and All

I guarantee that FIRST has been thinking about the elimination scoring since early in the regionals, so it is not a new idea that they might just be now considering. I am positive that they would have no trouble making such a change if they decided that it is the best to do so. Also, I do not believe that it would have been fair to make the change part way through the regionals and have teams qualify under different rules, but now that the regionals are over, I don't think anyone would be penalized or helped by a rule change for the Nationals.

As for whinning/complannig, I am doing neither. If FIRST decides to leave it alone, we will be there and compete to the best of our ability. I am only suggesting that this change be made, because I truly believe that it would be in the best interest of the competition to do so.

Regards and best of luck to all

Bill
