Their goal for this year was to make it to worlds. They made it to super regionals last year, but not farther, and they felt they'd learned from their mistakes and could go farther. And now.... they may not go farther, even if they do win, because they weren't selected in a lottery.

Man, I feel so fortunate that we do not have these headaches. FTC saturation in Canada is very small, so we have much better chance to advance and it's simply either Inspire Award or Captain of winning alliance.
I attempted to understand US system with it's multitude of FTC teams and my head got spinning. This situation makes it even more confusing for me.
I hope you guys will find ways to get re-inspired in spite of these difficulties. May be even make it into a life lesson.
