Some more comments about the multiple weekend proposal (can you tell which one I like best ;-):

More winners.

FIRST really needs to improve the prizes to teams ratio. Especially in the Chairman's Award area. There are simply too many teams doing too much good work for FIRST not to increase the number of teams that they recognize for this Award. The same goes for many of their other awards.

Also, many more teams get to go home a 'winner' from Disney because N teams all can brag about making it to the FINALS. They can all go home and get on the local news. They can all get on the local news as they head off again to compete the National Finals. Only one (or actually three if they keep the current format) will eventually be able to claim the title of National Champs, but, for a few weeks, they are all winners.

Finally, it is cheaper for Disney and hopefully that will translate into a cheaper Disney package for all teams. It took between 1 and 2 MILLION for Disney to build the complex that we used for the Nationals. It would have cost them very little (relatively speaking) to keep it up for another week. This would allow Disney to spread the costs out a little better and again, hopefully be reflected in a cheaper package for the teams that attend the Nationals Weekends.
