Keep in mind...
To all...
Keep in mind that this decision on the location and date of the Championships is not at all up to us (teams).
We should all trust that FIRST is trying their hardest to make the best situation they can for the teams. We may not agree with what they come up with, but we are gonna have to accept what they offer when they get done with their negotiations.
I've been in this long enough to know that FIRST is always trying their hardest to do what is best for the teams. We may have to accept higher prices at Disney, an inconvenient date of the Championships, or a new Championship location... but once they come out with an announcement, we need to accept it and show FIRST the support they deserve.
Everyone should know that planning these Regionals and the Championships are very difficult things to do. It takes years of planning to put in a new Regional, let alone the Championships. Most new Regionals have been in the works for at least 2, maybe 3 years.
I'm looking forward to FIRST telling us when and where the Championships are, but if they need more time to negotiate, that is perfectly fine with me. If it takes a few more days or even weeks to try to make the situation the best it can be for us, then we surely should be graceful and patient.
