Is competing at multiple regionals REALLY fair ?

Then the resolution is simple: refocus on your team. You shouldn't spend so much energy on things that you can not affect, especially if they in turn do not affect you.

To answer other comments, i don't want FIRST to do a thing about this, I want teams to change their outlook and think of something other than winning.

It looks like you're asking stronger teams to slack off and let weaker teams have a chance to win. Can you rephrase what you want so it doesn't seem so unreasonable at first glance?

To be passed up when you are a good competitor, but don't make the cut to be on a STACKED allinace is insulting too.

Did you really just say you would feel insulted if your performance didn't earn you a spot in the elimination rounds? Exactly who would be insulting you in that case?

What I don't like is when a team goes to 3 regionalsand one is just to demolish the competition.

Can you give an example of this happening?

You've consistently phrased things in a way that makes it look like you don't see other teams as anything but enemies. I think you might be missing a large part of what goes on at a FRC competition.

As for buying your way to Atlanta, I mean the teams that choose to go there when everyone is picking their regionals.

This still doesn't make sense to me. Choosing to attend the Championship does not have anything to do with which regional competitions one picks. Can you explain why you call it "buying your way"? Can you explain how going to Atlanta is relevant to the number of regionals a team competes at?
