We attended an early regional (philly) and don't understand the three teams at the Michigan regional. Would someone fill us in? What was it and how did it work? Thanks - See you in FLA.

The top 8 seeds chose like at all other regionals. However, in an effort to min. the timeouts and always have 4 robots working during the final matches the field was expanded to another choice. That make a third alliance as back-up. this also gets other teams involved.
The format was very good in MI. However the extra choice was extra work if you were in the top 8.

I personally feel that any team asked by the top 8 team should have to go with them. The refusal of your choice is embarrassing to you. It also stirs hard feelings. Back room deals, well I just am not in favor of that.

Just my opinion only.

I would be proud to be with any team if chosen, no matter the team, no matter the style of robot. I trust the teams choice as being good for them.

If anyone is embarrassed because a team rejects their offer for an alliance
then perhaps the real problem is the outlook of the offering team.

This is business, not a popularity contest. If a proposed partner feels they
have a better match for their situation elsewhere, then so be it. Move
on and get over it. Pick another team. Show them they made a big mistake!

In the real world you don't always get what you want just because you're
bigger, richer, at the top of a list, etc. It's going to be a lot easier
for the students to learn that lesson now rather than after they finish
school and have a lot more at stake.

My $0.02 worth...

- Jerry
