Re: It's Championship, Not Nationals

This is one (of many) of my biggest pet peeves in FIRST.

I have recently held a conversation with FIRST about use of correct terminology, and will be including those tips in the upcoming NEMO white paper on marketing your team via your team website.

If you are a member of the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), you are attending the "FIRST Robotics Competition Championship." You have previously competed in FRC Regional Competitions this season.

If you are a member of the FIRST Vex Challenge (FVC), you are attending the "FIRST Vex Challenge World Championship." You have previously competed in FVC Championship Tournaments this season.

If you are a member of the FIRST LEGO League (FLL), you are attending the "FIRST LEGO League World Festival." You previously competed in FLL Championship Tournaments this season.
