Re: Your Thoughts on the 2005 Championship Eligibility Criteria!
Doug G has stated let the Championship be the best of the best. This has been debated a lot in the past. Who really are the best. If you were at a regional and the 3rd pick of the 8th place team and you happen to win the regional. Is your team the best of the best? Maybe Championships should be the top 8 teams from all regionals. Are they always the best? Maybe rankings can only come from your 1st regional to be fair to everyone. Or for the sake of those that are saying it costs too much to compete, make the 2nd regional you attend $7,000.00 and maybe $10,000.00 for the 3rd regional. This way teams that want to buy their way to Championship can help support those that can barely attend one.

If I sound a bit upset it is because FIRST is suppose to be different. As was stated earlier Nationals was changed to Championship because of international teams. I don't believe that the reason changed. It was there to celebrate the year!
