I plead guilty to what you are talking about. Here is my perspective.

We spend 362 days a year promoting FIRST and STEM education. And 90% of our time at a competition trying to support and help people out.

It would be really nice to allow the kids that 10% of the time on those 3 days at an an event (I didn't say competition) to let it rip.

It isn't an 'A' OR 'B' decision. It is a 'A' AND 'B' decision that incorporates and exceeds anything that happens in sports.
