Re: It's Championship, Not Nationals

I have watched this thread for a couple days, haven't replied, but have thought a little bit. Here is something I would just like to say:

I think everyone is aware that "nationals" does not represent what the actual competition entails. However, people must also understand it was nationals for a long time, and its hard to break out of that mold. I constantly am correcting myself for saying nationals instead of championships, but its just how I learned it. It has been almost 7 years in FIRST for me, and when I first learned about NATIONALS, thats what they were known as.

I agree with the big push to try and get everyone on board the championship bus, but please understand when people let nationals slip out, its not because they are being disrespectful to teams competing from outside of the U.S., but because thats how they probably learned about nationals/championships. I know thats what my situation is....thanks everyone.
