no offence to you as i understand that it can be difficult to schedule your classes and finals around the competition but this is a High School competition. While FIRST promotes and encourages college mentoring they aren't really concerned with the college schedules, except for when spring break is at schools that host events.
Alot of other things like Easter, passover, AP exams, and SAT's are higher on their list.
You will get your wish as next year's championship is scheduled for April 12-14 2007
Also if you were forced to drop a class because you came to the championship/or weren't doing well because of your involvement with FIRST perhaps you should read this thread:
