Cool Re: Championship 2008 - Atlanta - Your Thoughts Please

I understand why FIRST changed the CA to the first award on Sat. If you were there last or the year before by the time the elimination rounds were over, most of the people in the stands were leaving or already gone. A lot of people were catching buses (have to get the students home to go to school on Monday) or going to the "party" that started an hour or so earlier. Maybe FIRST needs to look at starting a half-day or day earlier and adding another round or two for qualifying then finish qualifying earlier on Sat. Just my thoughts. As always, it's exhausting, challenging and mind-numbing but we wouldn't miss it for anything.
