They did it largely because the judges were being over burdened. There were events that had Chairman's Award judging happening on Saturday morning because they couldn't fit all the presentations in on Friday. I completely understand the problem facing the judges but to me this solution will negatively affect teams. Another reason they did it was because the feedback form at some events wasn't filled out well and only the check boxes were used by the judges. At other events we received typed feedback that was well thought out and helped develop our students and our team.

The feedback form had problems but eliminating it isn't the answer. If you want feedback back please contact FIRST and let them know, talking about it on CD only does so much. Tell Frank when you see him or the judges or anyone else involved in making this decision, not everyone reads CD and knows people are upset by this.
