Answer me this: I come from an odd numbered team. We did not even register on the radar last year. We won no awards and no regionals. We come from what is most likely the most difficult region of the country (Michigan).

Now, I could always hold hopes of winning a regional or award, but realistically, who can schedule a trip for 4 people to Florida with a few weeks notice? Much less teams with 20+ members?

I disagree with the new format, but unfortunately, this is about the only feasible way FIRST can run Nats.

Those of you lucky enough to automatically qualify don't realize how lucky you are.
