2004 Championship Eligibility Criteria!!!

[Mike Norton]

Why do teams in 1992 have a free ride?

Why aren't teams that have ten years or more?

I would think that would be worth something 10+ years of keeping a team together keeping the money coming in so you can compete every year. Why not give points for that. Most company reward people for their loyalty. Why not FIRST.

If it wasn't for the old teams bringing in the new team and sticking around from year to year there wouldn't be a FIRST.


Maybe there should of been something in the rules saying if you bring in so many new teams you get points. I think this would be better than if you were here in 1992 you get to go to the Nationals.

If FIRST want to make some good rules that will bring in more teams this one should. every team you bring in is worth 1 point. you get 5 teams in you get to go to the nationals. Is it not worth it for FIRST to do that then tell someone they can go because you were here in 1992?
