Just to let you all know, your team mentor or leader for the team (the one that is registered with TIMS and FIRST) should have recieved an official email from FIRST with a formal apology for the scoring errors during the regionals.

I did write to FIRST Robotics in an INFORMATIVE email to just let them know that we noticed some scoring/scoring software issues at the AZ Regional 2005. I am NOT mad at FIRST, nor do I hold them directly responsible for the mishaps. Every program has it's bugs, and this one still has a few to work out. Once again, I do NOT hold FIRST or the scorekeepers responsible for the software issues. Things happen, it's a part of life.

I am not sure if I am allowed to post the offcial FIRST email on here, but if I can, please let me know. I recieved it via my team mentor/teacher because I am an officer on my team.

The email also said that the final scores from the first and second regional weekends would not be posted due to the scoring errors, so if you look at the AZ regional scoring URL that I posted in my original post, it has been dissabled. This is due to the fact that FIRST wanted to check over scores.

Just thought I ought to let you know. And please, if I am allowed to post bits and pieces of that email, let me know. I don't want to violate any rules or regulations of FIRST by posting it, so I'll wait for a definate answer.

Thank you all for the support and information on this topic! It is all greatly appreciated and I have read all of your posts in-depth.

Thank you again,
