FIRST does have other options re Enistein.

But it still won't help, because you play differently against different opponents.

The better way to handle this, IMO, would be for FIRST to reserve slots at the Championship for all 12 Einstein teams for next year (though 1114 won't need to use theirs due to joining the HoF). That, at least, is not without an applicable precedent. Twice in the past, a finalist alliance at a regional has been given slots at the Championship because *something* got messed up pretty badly in the regional finals.

Just wondering, does any one know what HoF stands for?

Hall of Fame.

HoF is the CD shorthand. The only way in is to win the Championship Chairman's Award.

It's actually everybody shorthand. People refer to the hall of fame in sports as "the hof."

Back to the thread with you all...
