Marc,

I have often made similar arguments.

The advantages that flow from being a veteran and the dis-advantages rookie teams have are almost too many to list.

Even if we do compile such a list, 99% of the stuff on it would be beyond FIRST's power to 'level the playing field.'

Even with 40% rookie teams every year for the forseeable future, I still recommend that we give up the fiction of making things fair for rookie teams.

Rules in FIRST should stand or fall on their own merits without regard to appeals to being fair to rookies.

This competition is UNFAIR to rookies. Okay, let's admit it and move on with what is best for FIRST in the long run.

Joe J.
