Re: It's Championship, Not Nationals

FIRST has designated names for the events held in spring for FLL, FTC and FRC: FIRST Robotics Competition Championship, FIRST Tech Challenge World Championship, FIRST LEGO League World Festival. That's what should be used, to provide consistency in our messages to the media, etc., and to be aligned with what FIRST markets the events as.

And the location of the Championship event (as FIRST calls the entire event) changes - in recent memory it has been held at DisneyWorld in Orlando, FL, at the Astrodome in Houston, TX, and most recently at the Georgia Dome/World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA.
