Relax, it will all get worked out. Comming from the Northeast (ny) where there are a ton of choices for regionals, regional dosen't seem like as big of a deal. Every year we have attended a different regional, its cool but not nats. For those of you who have been to nats, remember the chills you got when you pulled up to epcot & saw the SIZE of nats. Awesome, everybody should get the oppertunity.

That being said, for a average funded team (us) there is alot that goes into planning for the nats. Our first year we scrounged money & sent a small team after doing well in NJ. You just can't send your team after winning a qualifying event.

Furthermore it is wrong to base nats on # & past year awards. As you can read in other threads judges make mistakes. We would already be just about qualified for next year if it weren't for a ref's miss-scoreing. It puts to much pressure on success & that's not what FIRST is all baout.
