I think a small national would make it a lot more fun. My first year in FIRST was 1998, and i thought that the national in that year was the most fun because it was a lot larger than a regional, yet still had that feeling of closeness. At the 2001 national, i thought that it felt like 4 unrelated regionals going on at once that besides the location, had no relationship to each other. However, in some ways i hate the idea of not letting many teams go to the nationals. I agree with mike that it would be great getting to compete with the teams that you want. What if the first, second, third, and fourth seed in all the regionals, rookie all stars, as well as the chairman's award winners were invited to attend the national that would be held several months down the road from the regionals. Anyway, that is jusy my thought of how to have a smaller national without having a criteria that some teams could meet and some could not.

Who wishes that FIRST could grow forever without these problems.
