This isn't really my place, and it is rare that I get angered enough to voice my actualy opinion on CD, but here goes.

I've seen 1st and 2nd year teams saying "fixing matches is not against the spirt of FIRST"

Guess what, you guys are rookies, you don't know exactly what the spirit of FIRST is, perhaps you should take a note from seasoned veterans who have 6 or 7+ years of FIRST uunder their belts. They know what the true spirit of FIRST is because they've expierenced it from the early days when it was a handfull of teams in a room with Dean all going at it head to head best bot comes out on top. And all the veteran teams are saying that "fixing the matches" is very much so against the spirit of FIRST.

The growth of the FIRST community is great, but I've witnessed alot of new teams that simply don't quite unnderstand what it's all about. Rookie teams didn't even get the 3 hours speal from Dean on Kick-Off(not to say that I didn't enjoy the break).

My hope is that the people who are "fixing matches" will realize how it is actualy "fixing the compeition" and will begin to change their ways.

ugh, venting is good
