: I am far from knowing what is in the hearts of men, but I did talk to a few FIRST folks after the Great Lakes Regional.

: Here is my impression of FIRST's opinion on the competition.

: FIRST is VERY happy with the outcome of the competition.

: Basically, they believe they have found a format that allows teams with a HUGE variation in skills & resources to co-exist.

: Teams that have large budgets, teams with no budgets, teams with 20 engineers, teams with no engineers, they all have to compete and more or less get along with each other on Friday and Saturday. FIRST really wants to encourage this getting along together thing.

: FIRST was also happy with the excitement of the Elimination Rounds. I have to admit that, at least in the case of the Great Lakes Regional, these rounds were full of exciting clips worthy of the evening news.

: SO...

: I believe that FIRST is very happy with the system they have this year.

: I know that there are a number of teams that really were hurt by the luck of the draw in the seeding rounds. But, this is always the case.

: The question I guess is did this system have more or less than last year's system?

: Also, can a better system be defined that has the attributes that Dean & Woodie & the FIRST gang want to keep?

: All good questions.

: Joe J.
Joe,
Thanks for the insight, this being my first year I have no history as a reference. If this was better than past years, it makes me feel better knowing that the system as a whole is benefiting. I did talk to one of your teammates early on Friday and he voiced concerns about the new scoring system. It would have been a pity if your team had been stuck in our position, a lot of people would have missed the great performance you put on, my head is still spinning from watching you remove those balls from your
opponents goal and put them in yours. I think with your versatility you have less of a chance to end up where we did. I can't see you not going all the way to the top every time you compete. I do hope there is someone out there that can give you some competition I didn't see any at GLR. Could you do team 468 a great big favor and let us know how we would have ranked against you if you scored your 7 matches using regular scoring ( not three times your opponents score) and include any points you scored for you opponents (we assume you would have scored those points for yourself) Not that we could ever come close to you head to head. It would be nice for our team to be able to just think about the fact that if the scoring was different we would have ranked up close to the Chief. That would be a great consolation to us.
Hope to hear from you, you can post, or email me at: maj@tir.com
Thanks and Good Luck
Pat
