Organization is lovely, but how about reality?

Sorry if that sounds a tad bitter, I swear its the sleepiness talking.....

But seriously, have you tried searching on the amount of posts of particular teams trying to centralize the databases? More than you can count on two hands.

And how many have really truly shined above the rest? None. The creator-team plugs it, it is talked about for a couple of days, and then forgotten, the topic of conversation moving onto more questions/comments.

I propose that there should not be a team running the organization that centralizes all the teams.

No matter how big your team is, or how dedicated, this is still a tough year, and I dont think any one team can handle it on their own...and if multiple teams take it on together, I see the judges giving recognition to only one team (if at all), thus making people bitter and having it crumble anyway, which leaves the centralization organization run by only one team (and you know how I feel about that...see above).

I seriously think that someone non-team affiliated (or a group of non-affiliated graduates) should take the centralization on. Thus, they wont be worrying about any matches more than others, And all teams can count on someone being there who knows whats going on ALL THE TIME (no worry about the answer-person running off to a match)...

Also, this is a plus for the non-affiliated graduates that really can't get to FL anyway (aka, if we want them working for all of us, we could all chip in a bit to pay or have a team sponsor their trip down, dont ya think?)

Just my thoughts. Feel free to pick at it.
