Therefore unless something else is said or done, if I participate on the team, FIRST will find (when they get around to my team for auditing) that I had an imcomplete submission and then they will come after me.

What do you suggest I do? And giving my SSN is not an acceptable answer.

Actually, as the policy makes clear, if your team was audited by FIRST and they discovered that you hadn't complied with the policy they would disqualify the whole team and refer you to the "authorities" whatever that means.

I know that there is very strong objection to this policy here, but is anyone telling FIRST? For all we know, they think we're happily complying with their demands. What should we do to make FIRST aware of our discontent and get this policy changed or revoked?
