I have a question for everyone and would like some feedback. Do you prefer that we schedule 8 qual matches for everyone and as a result push you hard to reset and get matches done, or take it easy and more relaxed and only schedule 7?

How's it going? Nice to have finally met you there!!!
The only issue we had was not being told ahead of time that we had a match we won that didnt count for us.
We won match #3 and were puzzled why we never got the "W." Our teammates did and we didnt. We actually won 8 matches since we had to play 9 total.
I like playing more matches. However, I think all regionals should have practice times start later and finish later, allowing teams that travel farther to put their robot together in a more relaxed fashion. Local teams bring their tools, thus packing only their robot with a few items. We have always had to take apart quite a bit of our robot in order to fit tools, parts, etc. since we cant afford to bring them all on a plane.
Congrats on your award!! You certainly deserve it.
