Greetings Teams: Many of you may have heard that FIRST will not be holding The Championship at Epcot in 2003. FIRST and Walt Disney World worked diligently to come up with a date that would allow us to return to Epcot but several factors simply worked against us.

Why do people say we must trust FIRST and always accept their decisions without questioning them?

If I read FIRST's message correctly, the Championships will not be held at Disney. Many people are going to be upset by this, and some of them are going to be vocal.

FIRST is trying to pull off a major change in venue, during difficult financial times, with a huge potential for disaster, and with limited manpower. Having a successful Nationals this year is going to take a phenomenal positive effort on the part of the whole FIRST community.

The reason we have to "trust FIRST" is that any other approach will make having a successful year more difficult.

The time for feedback and griping is the FIRST Forum.
