Jessica,
I understand your position here but FIRST is slowly teaching us that the only way things like this get handled are if we make a big fuss about it. I know that's probably not the truth, but since these changes keep coming with no explanation until a big stink is made people are starting to believe they have to make the big stink to get issues looked at.

Case in point: the scheduling algorithm. Who knows what the real story is behind the scenes, but the problems with the scheduling were clearly reported after the pre-ship scrimmages. Nothing was said or done about it before the week 1 regionals (where it obviously upset a lot of people) at which point everyone made a big fuss and now it's being dealt with. To many of us, it looks like FIRST knew about the problem but chose to ignore it until a whole bunch of people got mad and got vocal. Now, if instead there had been an announcement that said "Yeah, the scheduling sucks but we just can't fix it in time for week 1, bear with us and it will be ready for week 2" (assuming that's why they didn't fix it for week 1 in the first place) then people still would have been mad but the big fuss probably would have been avoided. Similar examples to this are abundant (AVA is another).
