Re: Should teams be allowed to attend multiple regionals?

I do not mean to disagree with almost everyone that voted, but I voted for one regional only. I honestly had no idea that some teams attended 4 regionals. Ok for the rest of this post, I am going to assume that winning the chairman's award would mean more to teams than winning a regional. Some team can barely make it to one regional. They do fundraising and everything. They just cannot get the sponsors that give out the big amounts. What if your team was big enough to BE a sponsor? So many team sponsor FLL teams. Think about what would look better on a Chairman's registration; 3 regional wins or 2 regional wins and sponsoring another team in your area?

Then again, why can't a team spend their money how they wish? It is their money. Go ahead. You earned it with hard work and dedication. But come on guys; do you really need to go to 4 regionals? Even 3 seems excessive. I would love to hear about a team sponsoring one or even multiple teams. It is what FIRST is about. Also, wouldn't it be more fair to only be allowed to attend one regional? Everyone gets the same chance. But finally, let me once again say IT IS YOUR MONEY. YOU EARNED IT. SPEND IT AS YOU SEE FIT.
