Re: District System in Other Regions in 2010?
As of 2 blog entries ago, Bill Miller, director of FRC said that the district system is still being evaluated in the BoD. I do hope that this is the case, since team forums haven't even occurred yet, the widely spoken of "Brandeis evaluation" has not been distributed (to the best of my knowledge), aka, they haven't heard any feedback. Seems like that would be a necessity to evaluate a program.

So, there is no for sure that it will return in Michigan next year, and no for sure that it will spread across the rest of the competition. I do hope that people keep in mind that FiM was a pilot program, and as such, must be evaluated for its effectiveness and its fate will be decided. Bill made it clear in his blog: the success/failure verdict on FiM is still out. Let's not presume that FIRST will declare it a success to be continued and spread until FIRST says so.
