But I've slept since that blog post and its probably on the old shut down blog.

I've been holding back - but feel the need to say it is my impression (more than opinion, but less than documented fact) that the "coopertition bridge" is viewed much more positively throughout the FIRST community as a whole, than it is on CD. My team loved that aspect of the game, as did many of the teams we "hang with". Most the other teams we speak to were at most neutral on the idea.

Now the pure opinion part of it: CD is much more heavily populated with the "Heavy Hitters" (so to speak) and thus, would be more likely to have viewed coopertition as some kind of "watering down" of the rankings. Again...opinion, not indictment...I love you all!!!
