Re: New FIRST competition structure in Michigan

I understand that Michigan teams get to play more for less money, I was just saying that a direct shot to atlanta is more money, meaning one regular regional and Championships. I am all for the new system, I'm simply point out its flaw to quiet down the "Michigan teams have an advantage" side of the argument.

MI teams straight to Atlanta:
KOP + 2 Districts $5,000
State Event $4,000
World Championship $5,000
Total: $14,000

Non-MI teams straight to Atlanta:
KOP + Regional $6,000
World Championship $5,000
Total: $11,000

All I was saying is it is just the way you look at it. What is an advantage to some is a disadvantage to others.

You could also look at it in a way that a few of the power houses most likely are.
KOP + 2 Districts $5,000
State Event $4,000
Regional Event $4,000
World Championship $5,000
Total: $18,000

Compared to last year:
KOP + Regional $6,000
Regional Event $4,000
Regional Event $4,000
World Championship $5,000
Total: $19,000

It is just the way you look at it... the grass is always greener when it isn't yours.
