Red face I'm really confused why FIRST does it this way and it's bugging me!
If this competition is meant to get students involved in technology and science then the students should come first right??? Why is it then, that at the competitions, on the website and everywhere else that when a team name is shown or spoken that the SPONSORS are the first ones mentioned????
I believe the High School and/or College name should be first in all cases. Even in the cases where your school gives you little to no support, financially or otherwise, I still think the SCHOOL and more importantly, the STUDENTS should come first!

Is thiss a FIRST dictated isssue to put the sponsors first or is it how you submit your information to FIRST???

What's everyone's thoughts on this????
Please clear up my confusion!
