Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/2008 FRC Connecticut "Double Regional"
I agree that I'd rather see a Super Regional with two times as many awards as a "Double Regional."

What if CT1 is field resetting slower than CT2 and finishes the day an hour later? That sure makes the team social dynamic a bit odder. What if CT2 finishes eliminations first, because CT2 is going to lots of rubber matches? Will the awards be held on separate fields?

It seems like a lot of the opportunity for extra excitement is lost by splitting the event in two.

I'd like to see the "ultimate showdown" between the champions of CT1 and CT2, even if just for bragging rights. I'd be just like divisions at Nationals, where they'd represent your field, and even if they beat you earlier, goshdarnit you want them to beat the other guys.
