Go to Post There are two types of competitors in this world, those who aim to rise above their opponents and those who seek to drag them down. Which group do you want to belong to? Which group is more beneficial to our society? Think about it. - Karthik [more]

First of all, I realize that FIRST is about exploring the capabilities of science and technology. But the fact remains that enjoying wining is part of competing. Anytime you compete you try to win. That's not to say that's the only thing you do. Last year I went to nationals knowing that there was no way my team would do very well at all in terms of standings but that didn't stop me from going and having fun. If winning isn't a big thing in FIRST then why are there standings? It's because there is a competition.
Colleen, what if you're a west coast team and you have friends on east coast teams? If there are fewer people at nationals there is a better chance that the people you know won't be there anyway. I don't know many teams that would go across the country for a regional competition. Don't get me wrong, I love regionals too, but the magnitude is what makes nationals different from regionals. It wouldn't be the same without all of the people there. It would be like skipping to the final four of the NCAA tournament and skipping all the games at the beginning of the tourney. It takes away for the build up of finals because there are fewer matches to go through before the final match.
