QUESTION OF THE WEEK!!! [09-30-01]

Hi all. FIRST implemented a new qualification process for National competition this year. After 30 threads and a newsletter (that add to its publicity too), everyone who visit this board should know exactly what it is about. A lot of people talked about changes they want, but it seems like teams will have to follow the rules after all. So, with that in mind, here is the question of the week:

QUESTION 9/30/01: How will the new qualification process affect your team?

I've talked to a lot of people, and they all express changes in their team since they are no longer guaranteed a spot in National. Things like decisions of going to more regionals or not, team promotion (they used to use "We go to Disney World!!!" to attract students), or aiming to attend National as a spectator or volunteer...

What we think teams are going to do and what teams are actually doing can be quite different, or quite similar... Who knows until we all answer this question?

Have fun,
-Ken Leung
