while i try to appreciate everyones opinons in stuff, i am gonna give my own guidlines

FIRST off, get rid of politics, i hate politics, its the reason i have to pay taxes,


2nd, here is a nice user friendly set of requirments

1- join first in hs
2- graduate hs
3-get involved in first after hs

if you atleast pull off 2 and 3 then

YOU=FIRST-A-HOLIC, after talking to someone i came up with a nice definintion of a FIRST-A-HOLIC

someone outside a team (adult, mentor, college student) who are there to better serve FIRST, simple right

Now for my disclaimer, i would never doubt a hs students involvement in first, and just a little hint at my reason (its a program aimed at hs students)

but peopel like Ken Lueng, who (he may have to correct me on this,) went 6 for 7 weeks this year, serving as scorekeeper,
People Like "E-Rap" who are trying to start off season competitions
People like Ashlee Snodgrass who travel cross country to attend and volunteer at a regional
People like JVN, Sean Roberts
who travel to ref comptition, and one of which had to be banned from this website for his dedication
Peopel like Andy Baker and dare i say it Wayne Cokeley who help single teams advance
and People Like M.Krass who start programs to help every team get info.

These people are like legends in FIRST, people you want to be when you start college.

I do not wish to start troulbe, i just do not think there should be a set standard of rules to follow to achieve this title, or rank, one i hope to evnetually acheive
