I am not saying not to add teams.

I just want the teams that are on the waiting list to get in.

I do not want a rookie team to get in just because it is a rookie team.

If they wanted to play this game they should of started last year. They should learn what this is all about and when they should sign up. Just like a team that has been around.

They should have a mentor already line up to help them.

For you to tell me that FIRST will hold slots open because they are rookies I think is very wrong.

When FIRST made it, if you win a regional you can go to the National. How many teams would like to get the luck of the draw and get rookie teams as partners. Not all rookie teams are bad but are you willing to take that risk. I would rather have a team that has been around than a rookie team.


So is it right for FIRST to save slots?
