Re: It's Championship, Not Nationals

All of their documents would need to be re-done, and so would all of the documents of each team. Not to mention links from team websites, links to http://usfirst.org from other external websites, etc.
But usfirst.org is no longer representative of FIRST and could be offensive to international teams. Im just thinking that if we are going to throw a fit about people calling Championship Nationals we need to make an effort across the board to delete all US-centric verbiage. While we are at it, why is the manual only released in English?

Im not saying that the Championship/Nationals debate is pointless or wrong. The event is called The Championship Event, call it as such. I just think we have much bigger problems to tackle than a handful of old-timers mixing up names. Do we really not have anything better to do than bicker about it?
