Sorry, but I will have to COMPLETELY disagree here. I think this year's game has offered a "special" scenario regarding rookies and team placement. This year's game was definitely tough on rookies...it provided many challenging problems (traction especially) that older teams already had to deal with in the past; an experience level that obviously plagued many rookie teams. Though this wasn't thier fault, it was merely a part of THIS year's game.

However, let's revert to previous years...in the past, rookie teams have done EXTREMELY well. We were the #3 seed in our regional in 2000, and we couldn't even hang on the bar if we tried. In '99 the Cheesy Poofs won the NASA Ames Regional as a rookie team (sorry to all you other teams...I keep up mainly with my own division).

All in all, I think "experience or skill divisions" are a totally BAD idea.

Just my personal thought...

Chris, #368
