I have to disagree with you (partly). I agree that their shouldn't be a consolation match. We lost and that's that. There doesn't seem to be a real point to having the consolation match between the two alliances
However, I have to disagree with you in the fact that there is no prize for third place. Yes, there is no trophy or medal, but my team has gained much more than all that.
When we went back to school, everyone knew how well we had done and nobody cared that we didn't get another big trophy. We got to claim that we were national seminfinalists, winners of our division and the awards that we received were beyond any trophy. More people are interested and aware of FIRST and news stations are becoming more and more interested in our team.
Yes, there is no trophy for third or fourth in the semifinals, but frankly I don't care. We have won so much already, a consolation match isn't necessary.
Quick shout out to our partners 173 and 1902, y'all were awesome!
(1902, give the pig a kiss for me!!)
We hope to see everyone again next year at nationals!
