Re: Einstein Consolation Match
Two things here:
Is third place all that important? To me, saying you're a Division Champ sounds more impressive.
Doesn't FIRST already have enough problems trying to complete the Championship according to their schedule? If you watched the Championship on NASA TV this year, the broadcast from Atlanta ended at 6:30pm. That's a half-hour after everything (like the Chairman's Award presentation) was supposed to be done. At the time the broadcast ended, the second Einstein final match had not even started. The Chairman's award winner wasn't announced until after 7 pm. Not only does that affect the NASA TV viewers, but also the wrap party (there's enough discussion about that already).
I cannot see putting more of the FIRST Championship platter, especially "broccoli" (3rd place).
