I believe Karthik is right here.

I very much hope that FIRST will extend a $4000 grant to ALL teams attending the Israel regional in 2010 to be applied to attending the 2011 Israel Regional.

FIRST should also invite ALL SIX of the Finalist/Champion teams to Atlanta in 2010. (That opportunity should not be decided on a coin toss!)

My greatest respect goes to those who worked so hard to make the event possible and as good as it could be. My sympathies to the students and mentors who worked so hard to prepare for an event that was so disappointing. I'm glad that apparently most people at the event were able to make the best of the situation.
