I believe that it reduces "Regional Shopping" and as far as I am concerned, that is a good thing. It will lead to an interesting game of cat and mouse by teams deciding or not deciding to announce where they are going. Should be fun.

We are all left to play detective and post new threads on ChiefDelphi trying to find out this information ourselves. It seems inefficient. I understand the need for the new payment methods, but it's no fun being kept in the dark regarding the identities of the "pending teams".
Who here would like FIRST to add a feature to their website that would identify the team numbers of the "pending teams" for each regional? Is it even worth the bother? Is the community better off knowing who the pending teams are sooner rather than later? What do you all think?
