While I appreciate you reading and quoting my posts, Mike S., I'd rather hope you'd read and quote complete thoughts.

but that didn't stop me from going and having fun.
This is the rest of the line you quoted. As I previously stated, I realize that winning isn't the main driving force behind participating in FIRST, but it is part of competing. If you are lucky enough to be on a winning alliance/team you are extatic but that doesn't mean that you learned more than any other team.

And a question for thought, Would you like to know your friends were at a competition on the opposite coast or couldn't compete at all because Nats had to become limited because of the number of teams? I hope you would go with, an answer of them competing on the opposite coast.
As far as teams competing on the opposite coast. Yeah, I realize that there will be regionals there that they can compete in but the point I was trying to make was that a split national would be less fun than not splitting because you wouldn't get to see all the people. Part of nationals is getting to see the people you don't see at regionals. The magnitude of nationals is part of what makes being there so much fun. What fun would it be to share ideas with other people on this forum an dnot get the chance to have a web hug and met everyone. Maybe the problem with my prvious posts is that my thoughts are not well conveyed through type.
And Mike Soukup, some of the reasons that so many people didn't go to finals last year, this is what many people told me, were because they were trying to get their pits packed up, they were disinterested in the format of the game, and because it was hard to see the field from many parts of the amphitheater. I know that there were plenty of seats for finals, I was in the floor section, but many people didn't even go check out the seat status for one or more of the afore mentioned reasons.
