i understand where you are coming from, but i don't think you are completely understanding the reason why these 6 teams are going. they took the initial investment and time to see if first would work. they spent the money they could get for the first year to compete in a high school gymnasium in new Hampshire with things that if we saw now we might wonder what they were. these teams not only have defined what the meaning of first truly is but have defined what it means to give to others before they receive anything back. if you have a problem with these 6 teams getting as some people call it a "free ride" to you have a problem with all past national chairmans award winners getting that "free ride" also, because truthfully not all past national chairman award winners are still around today, but we still are.
