I don't mind it to much in casual conversation.

When it gets annoying is in written documents that are presented to the outside world. It can be, and will be confusing to someone if you try to explain FIRST and are talking 'nationals' but the brochure you just handed them says 'championships', and then later on FIRST's website it says 'FIRST Championship'. Now you have three separate events in their mind no matter how many times you tell them they are all the same.

Avoid this at all costs.
