Joe,

I agree completely. Also, I very much admire the fact that your team will accept the first offer & not make deals - it shows a great deal of respect for other teams and a great deal of integrity. I hope all teams are able to follow your example. We had the same policy at our regional and the kids wanted it that way - they didn't want to turn anyone down or be turned down (we were also in both positions) and I was very proud of them for that stance.
Any potential back room deals only cheapens the entire experience for everyone. I just hope FIRST makes the rule most seem to be advocating - NO REJECTIONS. It seems everyone would agree to it, so I feel FIRST should at least propose it to all the team coaches. If the GREAT LAKES teams got to vote on 3 team alliances, let ALL the national teams get to vote on NO REJECTIONS.
Just a proposal.

Jason
