Re: IRI - 4th Alliance Team?
If your goal is to have the “best of the best” compete against each other, don’t have the 4th team play (this is one of the things that makes IRI stand out of the crowd).

If your goal is to have more winners, and have the forth team feel like a winner instead a tag-a-long, require the fourth team to be played. Maybe require the fourth teams to all play in the first match. I agree with Sean, we felt very strange accepting an award that we did nothing to deserve.

When we returned home and were asked how we did by friends and family, we said, “we won”... but...but. It is a very strange position to be in. We are used to earning awards that we receive. Rest assured we could not have been with better teams, they tried their best to make us feel included in the alliance win, but...but. It is one of those things that you have to experience for yourself.

I would also like to see a poll, of the teams that were put in this position, as well as a general poll for everyone to vote in.

Kettering Kickoff will probably have a fourth alliance partner, and they will probably be required to play. FIRST should adopt the fourth team format, play or not. Great job IRI team you did it again.
