WHOA! That is a heated thread...

Hi all,

I hated the even/odd thing from the beginning because it was DOOMED FROM THE START due to 30% annual growth.

I agree with PJ that a balance of random and performance based criteria is needed.

I also agree that a lottery that essentially gives you more and more chances of making it the more years you miss the lottery is a good way of making it work.

I would also add that a team that signs up for the Nationals, then backs out should go to the back of the line in terms of lottery odds.

Until TV is paying for teams to go to the Nationals (ala the NCAA tourney), I cannot see FIRST going to a system where all teams qualify based on this year's competition. It is a good goal to think of, but not realistic until some revenue source outside of the team's pockets is paying the bills.

That is all I have for now...

Joe J.
