Re: [BB]: Regional Variations & Bagging It
When many speak of the 10 rounds of qualifiers being the solution to our problems of getting the best teams on the field for the finals... we need to ponder this...
How many regionals have you been to that have all of the rookie and younger teams ready to start playing at 12:00 on Thursday?
I have NEVER been to a regional where that was the case...
So you go into your qualifier on Thursday and your partners have not been inspected... or can't pass inspection.... many teams need all of Thursday to get ready....it is a god send to many of them....
It also gives those of us that are ready plenty of time to help them get ready.
Now we are all playing.... noon....
If the game is anything like last year.. you will see even more qualification situations.... last year if one team did not make it on the field.... it was a free for all on that empty trailer....
If that happens again Thursday will NOT represent BETTER qualifications...
It will be much worse...
I would rather have 7 good qualifying rounds than 10 with 3 on Thursday...with only half of the robots showing up...
