[Justin Montois]

Looking at the Agenda, I had this idea and it may be what FIRST is planning...

Thursday and Friday, FRC utilizes half of the dome and the pits for our qualification matches.

Thursday and Friday FLL and FTC use the other half of the dome for their qualification matches.

Friday at 5pm, after FTC has their alliance selections, Volunteers tear down the FLL and FTC fields, move 2 FTC fields to Einstein for their elimination matches Saturday morning, and set-up two FRC fields in their place for our divisional elimination matches.

This way by Saturday Morning FTC can have their elims on Einstein and we can return to our traditional Saturday format with all 4 fields in the dome plus Einstein.

I wouldn't really be happy about being bumped for Thursday and Friday but I understand that for FLL and FTC this is their Championship too.

If this is what FIRST is planning then I have to echo what others have said and don't have teams switch mid-day on Friday. Have half of us play in the pits all day Thursday. Then switch it up for Friday and then have everyone in the Dome on Saturday.

That really wouldn't be terrible.....
