The way I see it there are two main debates right now
about nationals:

1: 2 Team vs. 3 Team Alliances

2: Allowing/Disallowing Rejections

Why don't we just convince FIRST to send an email to
every team and have every team vote on each item. Give
everyone like a week to respond and if you don't check
your email or respond, too bad, you lose your vote.

At the end of the week they tally the votes and then
decide how it will be at nationals. They could announce
the results or not announce them, either way. I think
keeping the results a secret would almost be more
interesting and prevent more 'pre-alliances'. If teams
don't know until they get there how the alliances are
going to work, then its harder to have the whole thing
set up before you get there.

Any opinions? (ok..dumb question...everyone's got an
opinion
