Remember that thread? [11-11-04]: Multiple Regionals

[Ken Leung]

Hi Everyone :-).

Now that registration is open, there have been a lot of discussions about which regional teams are attending, and how many they are going to. It sounds like lots of wonderful people are working very hard to put up extraordinary events for you. Good luck teams! Good luck regional committee's! Good luck off-season events! ( )

This week's "Remember that thread?" spotlight a very relevant discussion back at 99' regarding # of regionals teams should attend. In this inspiring debate, Chris Hibner (Coach on team 308) started out by comparing FIRST regionals with open wheeled racing, argued how unlimited practice sessions benefited racing teams who can afford to go to them, and how FIRST teams with huge amount of resources will have the same advantage over poorer teams who cannot afford to go to multiple regionals. Others quickly rebutted by saying these big teams are raising the bar for their team to shoot for and pointed out the benefits of regional competitions.

This thread lasted till its 56th post with nothing but pure quality in it. After re-reading this thread, only one though lingers in my mind the rest of the week: I am not worthy… I am not worthy…

Without further delay, in this week's “Remember that thread?” I present:
