: When dividing up the teams for the divisions at nationals, I think FIRST should split up the teams equally between the divisions according to their experience, as follows:
: Lets say for example that there are 100 teams with 3 years as a registered first team, 25 would be in each division. If there are 120 rookie teams, then put 30 in each division etc. They could even indicate on the divisional team lists, how many years experience each team has!

I agree with you on this point. I also think that in addition to this the regional events for the teams this year should be taken into account. For example: a team goes to 3 regionals and plays in 18 matches and another team goes to 1 regional and plays in 6 matches. Who has more experience? Even if 2 teams each go to 1 regional and one team has 6 matches and the other 11 there is still and experience issue. Just a thought. Also, about the bridge: something was definately wrong that the bridge came off the fulcrum that many times. At VCU that didn't happen at all. Something should definately be done about that.
