Re: Why Give Open Bids to the Championship?
FIRST is a very complicated thing. It acts like a sport, which would signify that performance gets you in, but it also acts like as a culture, which is where RCA, EI, and rookie allstar come in. It is a mixture of both. So the way in is a mixture of both. FIRST also has the "real world" thing too. Which is why teams can pay their way in. It is just a lot of things all thrown together that don't agree with one another. There is no way to make all side of happy, so no sides are happy. The way it is stays, but I would like to see less spot go to thse who just pay, I'd like to see 40% of get in because of Robot performance, 30% because of awards, and the 30% due to random draw or split it, 33% for all parties
