Competitions and Holidays

[Cory]

You can write all the letters you want to FIRST, but the fact of the matter is they won't change anything.

Believe me, FIRST does all they can to accomodate religious holidays and such. There are only so many weeks they have to work with though. Administartors and teachers already think that the FIRST season is too long, and FIRST ABSOLUTELY cannot extend into May when there are AP tests.

FIRST does the best job they can with things like this. Let's not hassle them for something out of their control.

I'm Jewish, but I wouldn't be celebrating Passover here at WPI anyways, so if I go to Nationals, I won't have any problem
