I agree with everything Nate said, but I have one more point to add. For a long time the participants in FIRST were fortunate since each team got the opportunity to attend Nationals every year. We all got used to it and expected it to be that way forever. Last year FIRST changed their view of the competition and changed its name to 'The Championship'. Instead of leaving the Championship as a large competition that everyone can attend, they attempted to turn it into a competition for the best teams to fight for the title. Some may not agree with the actual process to select qualified teams, but that's a small issue.

Many people don't like the idea of limiting Nationals and think it should be open to any team that can make the trip. That's a valid position. However people with this opinion usually argue that FIRST can do X to fit more people in Disney or do Y to hold two national competitions. Those are not good arguments because it does not attack the main issue: FIRST decided to turn Nationals into an exclusive competition. Change FIRST's mind on that matter, then worry about finding the space for everyone to compete.

fyi, I agree with FIRST's decision, so don't expect any help from me

Mike
