While I know that this year is a special year in terms
of cooperation, again, I think that this type of
information falls under the trade secrets domain.

If a team does figure out how to do this, I say more
power to them. I would not expect them to share this
information with everyone else. They worked hard, they
thought hard, they should get the benefit of that hard
work and thinking.

Specifically, they should stand out in the crowd at
their regionals and at the nationals and either score
high enough to be a drafting team or be outstanding
enough to be drafted by those that are drafting.

Helping teams that need help is one thing, giving away
your trade secrets that make you less competitive is
yet another thing altogether.

Am I out in left field on this? Please comment.

Joe J.

P.S. As the ONLY team that has never finished lower
than first place at a regional they attended, Cheesy
Poofs ought to publishing THEIR trade secrets rather
than asking others to share theirs ;-)
