Re: It's Championship, Not Nationals

As a member of a team from outside the US, I would appreciate people making the effort just so we feel people know we exist...

if someone knows of the Israeli, Brazilian, British, German, Turkish or "Bosnia and Herzegovina"ian teams I think he'd be hard pressed to fall back to using nationals, since it is simply not that anymore.

The "FRC Championship" is a much more inclusive term which doesn't marginalize us foreigners...

So yeah, i'd appreciate the effort, if only for the feeling that people know we exist.

p.s.
The captain from "Spirit of the United Neretva" - Team 3368 (Bosnia and Herzegovina) won the Dean's List award at the Israeli regional!
