Even - Odd Assumptions - Whining

It's interesting to see that many of the Even numbered teams and the Odds last year immediately made the assumption that they wouldn't be able to attend the nationals. In most championship events you have to earn your way, not be given a handout just because your number is even or odd.

FIRST has set out qualification requirements which allows for any team to attend the nationals as long as the requirements are met.

Teams should raise monies and compete as if they are going to be attending. It does not good to "Win" a regional, then not be able to attend the nationals because you didn't raise the monies to attend. And if you don't go that will leave the team in better financial shape for next year.

As FIRST continues to grow I could see where they limit the nationals to teams who have only won that year at a regional event.

I see no reason nor indication that FIRST will expand the number of teams at this years national competition.

It's just wishful thinking from the same group that is whining about not going to WDW so they can ride the rides. If they'd like some cheese with that whine I would suggest they go see the Mouse in Orlando.
