so why not have it on the first day during practice rounds? take 15 or so teams from each division and put them into a temporary "people's choice" division for practice day. this division would compete on einstein field (assuming its not gone or in use on practice day next year) for practice day, and then return normal divisions for the last two days for qualifacation and final rounds.
GREAT IDEA! I will need some help with someone pretty "high up" in FIRST. For this to be a Thursday practice day match, I will need to have some adult with some way to get the idea up to FIRST. If you have any ideas on who I can email or if your the person that can help, let me know.
