With the new post by FIRST those of us who were 1st year teams last year are officially screwed. We have been put in the same category as the teams that went to Nationals last year...
"Tier 1 Last attended Championship in 2003, or
never attended Championship and Rookie Year is 2003"
Therefore (...) "These slots will be based on the number of years since a team last attended the Championship. " is false.
Teams attending last year (hence 0 years since last attending) and Rookie teams from 2003 who DID NOT go to Nationals.. (1 years since last attending) are treated exactly the same...

I totally agree with Bob. Rookies seem to be getting penalized if they did not attend a Championship in their rookie year.
Hopefully, this is a clerical mistake by FIRST. I started a thread
here to give some constructive criticism.
