A few suggestions...

1) Remove the anti-TJ^2 rule!!!! (For those who don't know it's using velcro. Watch the 99 season I believe Nationals

2) If the carpet is being used again ban filecards. Why because now everybody knows the secret and its not very entertaining

3) Can we PLEASE go back to everyman for themselves!!! Too many times has the alliance thing screwed teams over. Fine you say so what do you purpose 1vs.1vs.1vs.1 same amount of teams playing so the speed factor is ok. Plus nobody can gain up and dominate over one person because now their is that fourth person. With the alliance system now teams who are seeded 1-4 are victimizing their partners who might have a chance of either breaking into the top 8 or higher. This happened to my team this year and we were pushed down in the seedings to seventh at Florida and we felt very betrayed by the system.

4) Define all rules and be consistant maybe give a video demonstration with the team updates with the rules so clarity can be certain. A visual usually works better than words because words can be misinterpeted.

5) To qualify for Florida points have to carry over... And if spots are open the teams with the most points should be able to qualify. (Like say team X has 4 points and a spot is available after the odd teams they should be let in)

6) Have a cut off date for signing up for Nationals don't hold teams in limbo. Like say have all teams that are
qualified sign up on Jan.1
Odd numbered teams Jan15
Teams with most qualifiying points Feb 15

7) Devise a qualification system for Nationals that lets teams have the ability to travel to Nationals. Weeks notice is not good and not cheap...

8) Chairman's award needs more time robot is still being designed during the time the chairman's award is being completed.

Ok that's it for now that I can think of
