2013 Lessons Learned: The Negative

[Mark Sheridan]

I am struggling at thinking of negatives. I only got obvious big stuff and trivial.

The obvious big stuff:
1) more districts
2) more qualification matches for championships
3) more competitive teams

The trivial
1) keep the sound systems quieter. I went to vex world champs, the sound level was much more comfortable and had all the emotional impact.
2) Why can't more Safety judges be like the Las Vegas ones? They were polite, kind and caring. I was having a good time and so were they. I trusted their opinion completely. I think some other judges feel like they need to constantly catch people not being safe, resulting in some very trivial calls.
3) stop using the 54" (or whatever dimension) cylinder rule. Make it a square or something easier.
4) Can we start getting each regional/district to have its own youtube channel (or equivalent) to post recorded matches? Maybe make it a committee person who primary responsibility is this.
