My take on this one....

Hello,

This question has probably been kicked around since FIRST was created in 1989. I know that every year since I got into FIRST in 1996 we have asked "will they limit Nats?....will you have to qualify?." Someone has said it every year. For the most part they still haven't really defined who can attend. Best I can tell it is still a first come situation. However there is the capacity of 340 teams. I think that we will see this continue for a little while. Nationals is open to anyone but if you want to be there you better be one of the first 340 teams to say so. I hope that this is the case. I know that Nationals has just grown out of control...let's face it, it is almost to unweidly for Disney to handle so I think that logistics will impose a practical limit of some kind. I think that FIRST is reluctant to limit nationals in a qualfying type way because it would also limit cash flow. Plus it would deny teams, kids, etc. the expirence of Nationals. I think that the divisions concept needs to be refined slightly but could work out for the best (as long as the go back to the old way of pit organization ;-) ;- ) )

That's my take...

-Justin
