FIRST Choice is Profoundly Flawed

To be fair, there's no practical difference between ordering two months in and ordering at 12:30pm on opening day. The most useful items, like batteries, Crios, classmates, speed controllers etc. are all gone by then. You're left with a lot of items that aren't very useful and just as expensive in terms of points.

FIRST choice serves teams who have good network luck and someone with nothing else to do in the middle of the day. It's not even really First come/first serve, it's first to not experience a network error/first serve.

There are a lot of things FIRST could do to change the situation. I hope they do any one of them, because it'd be an improvement.
