But I think Andrew is right. I also think this was handled differently because Frank had more information about what went wrong. HQ can't always make calls like this, but when they can, I'm glad they do. |

And if its different because Frank had more information, then why didnt he get more information from the Orlando Regional? This event was never even brought up in a blog post or anything by FIRST. |

Re: FRC Blog - My Bad Call
This decision was very professional of Frank. I truly think there was only one solution to this whole debacle, and Frank got it right.

Waitlist Many FRC teams have already earned their way to the FIRST® Championship in April through their performance at events, and a high percentage of teams have accepted those slots when offered. Just a reminder that we expect very few waitlist slots to be available. The number available may be just a couple, or even zero. Frank I am sure this was a difficult but was a well discussed issue at FIRST HQ. +1 Frank! Aloha! |

Re: FRC Blog - My Bad Call
I think FIRST handled this in a very professional way. There will always be people that don't like when teams selectively get invited. But every issue is different and needs to be handled in a different way.
What I'm more excited about is that ever since Frank took over FRC director, things have become much more open to the community, and instead off all of us just sitting in the dark, we get answers and how they are going to fix things. I suspect that they want to say some things about how this year is going, but I think they are waiting until after competition season is over in order to acknowledge them. |

FIRST may want to reconsider the way they handle tricky situations that come up at competition. Currently, it seems like a very disconnected way to manage situations that often have many sides to them. I'd love to see Frank or whoever else at HQ talk to not only FTA's, Head Refs, LRI's, etc, but maybe a student or two on a team being affected by the ruling? Not sure if this is feasible, but worth thinking about. Regardless, thank you Frank for connecting with Madtown and coming to the right conclusion. Glad we made it to the finals with 368 to open up that extra spot -Mike |

I'm saying that HQ made a bad call in the SVR case. I'm also saying that there's potential that the LRI made a bad call in the Orlando case. HQ should fix this because the origin of the bad call is with them. HQ should NOT fix Orlando because they were just following the rules. They SHOULD look into what caused it to make sure it can't happen again. IF (and this is a huge if) the LRI knocked out that alliance intentionally there's a big issue. But it's not one that a couple wild card spots will sort out. |

Both outcomes came from calls to FIRST HQ. |

Re: FRC Blog - My Bad Call
If it came off as I was angrily posting I am sorry. I simply was posing a question as to the thought of which would seem worse. I didnt feel I had written my post in a manner that seemed to jump out at someone with capitalized or exclamations or anything like that.

Re: FRC Blog - My Bad Call
I don't know that i would say Frank was "wrong". He made the decision he made with the information that was available / given to him at the time. As it turns out, that information was not complete. During the event, he made the right decision with the wrong information (he thought the team wanted a back-up, then got repaired, and changed their mind).
Later, given new / more information, he changed his decision to reflect the actual situation. I think this is a great outcome. |
