I have read just about all of the point of views
that people have placed on this website, and I just
feel that maybe it is time to throw my two cents in.

No one is more in favor of having more teams in
the qualification matches than I am. BUT I think
that forming three team alliances only cheapens
the title of National champions even more. Adding
more teams an alliance is not a good solution at all.
Why add teams to an alliance? Why not just add more
alliance teams to the elimination rounds. To be
perfectly honest I am not really in favor of whole
alliance thing any way, but what are you really going
to do about it. The worry that I had with the alliance
partner thing was fear of backroom dealings, throwing
matches,...etc. Extending the teams to a three
alliance team only further complicates things.

I feel that adding more teams( by means of more pairs(2)
of alliances)to the elimination matches is a more viable solution.
Think about the powerhouse tri alliances that could be
formed(EX. Assebet, Bomb Squad,and Beatty) all on one team
, it is just not fair. So what if one of the two robots
breaks down in a match. That is why there are two isn't it.
I can not tell you how many time we were paired with a
machine that didn't move in conn., But we had to deal with it.

So, I am just hopeing that they will extend the field in the elimination
matches and not add a third team to an alliance. Well i've now voiced my
opinion ( which is somthing that I usually do not do
,but I guess i just felt strongly about this topic). Sorry for rambling
and boring all of you.

Good Luck at the Nationals!!
