Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Please give us your feedback on FIRST Announcement of 2 Champions

I think the survey should have preceded the announcement. Folks it is a done deal contract have been signed and all they can do now is tweek any input on what to do at the two championships.

I keep hearing "First, the sport of the mind" from Dean and Woodie so set the events up like sports do. Yes it is great to involve more kids but do not dilute a championship. They should have looked at something like this:
1) District event
2) State event
3) Regional event
4) National event
5) World Event

Even maybe a US national event and a International event followed by a World event. Look how Little League Baseball does the Little League World series.

Can somebody explain to travel cost are going to be reduce for a team from Israel, Turkey or Australia have their travel reduced by the proposed cities?

They have expanded Worlds this year by 250 teams and diluted the event in my mind as far as competition of quality robots, yes more kids involved. Is this a money issue maybe, lets see how we can get more money by adding teams more events?

Kids like to win at high levels of competition in sports, debate clubs, music competitions, programming competitions, computer games and even in FRC Robotics believe it or not. First needs to understand this and if they do not the need to see reality when watching an event.

This is a bad decision and bad timing for the survey.

Shoot, aim, ready not ready, aim fire!

They got it wrong.
