One way to think about it.

I am sorry that limiting the Championship Event has hurt your team. I am sure that your team is a very good team that has done a lot to help FIRST.

This is true these new "Invitational" rules have hurt many team like us these are the prior years 1992-2000. they worked their butts off to win the "Championship" event in those years prior and many promoting FIRST whenever they can makes me wonder if what me and team 25 (2000 national champs) mean anything to them and the last time i checked you call something a championship event that when you have the best of the best, not the best of the select few and even numbered teams.!!!!!!!
