: Eliminate Seeding Rounds from Saturday. [Joe J.]

Dr. J.,

I think that this is the first time I have ever disagreed with you. Give the teams the most play time that you can.

This is especially important at the regionals. It means that family and friends who could only get away on Saturday will get to see your team play. A rookie team may not get their robot fully functional until Saturday morning. Give them that extra chance to accomplish their goal.

As a veteran team who expects to do well, your selection process should be done Friday evening. On Saturday, you just 'fine tune' due to late breaking developments (broken robots, et cetera).

I know the goal of your post was to 'raise the bar' in the finals but I can't support this one... There must be another way.

To that end, I would like to see regional placement figured into the seeding for the National. But that's getting off of Andy's topic and is another discussion for the future.

IMHO - Mike
