Calling it Nationals doesn't make you old skool or anything; it makes you look lazy and frankly somewhat ignorant.

Please, it's Championship. The sub-forum is labeled it, FIRST hasn't called it that in many years, and teams from all over the world attend the event, it's not a "national" event in any stretch of the imagination.

*gets off soap box*

Sorry, but when most of your mentors where around when it was called nationals and they dont change, it rubs off on the students.
