:
: DID I MISS SOMETHING???!?!?!

: Since when does an alliance consist of 3 teams? I would greatly appreciate
: it if someone filled me in on how we got to 3 teams in an alliance. Also
: how fair to the rest of us at other regionals who only had 1 other team?!
: From reading some of the messages here it seems FIRST is having a consitency
: problem.

The rule was changed for the Great lakes regional last weekend. Apparently
it hasn't been decided whether the new format will be used in Orlando.

I personally don't see how this affects teams who participated in the
other reginals in any way. I've seen a number of people claim that
changing the format is unfair to those who competed in other regionals.
Perhaps someone could elaborate on why this is so?

I don't see the change as a "consistency problem", but rather a reaction
to problems which were noted in some of the other regional contests.
I applaud FIRST for being willing to change the contest in order to
fix (or attempt to fix, depending on your point of view) the problems.
