We constantly ask for a more transparent communication with FIRST. That requires respect and maturity on our side.

If you guys are/were just guessing - fine - but if you were snooping and tracking down the info before it was ready to be officially released, that's pretty darn tacky.

No offense Jane, but when you have thousands of excited smart kids they are going to find stuff. If FIRST really wanted to keep this information out of the hands of the public they should not have put it on a public website. This has been a problem for the last few years and I don't hold any fault with the kids using their smarts in a legal way to get info they want.

Bill's blog said that the divisions are subject to change so this is all just speculation until they are on FIRST's main page.

I would be surprised if they don't mix it up based on this, just to mess with us.

Re: Divisional Preview

Well, it's probably exacerbated this year by the fact that they usually release the divisons by now. I think everyone's just excited and a little impatient. Nice to see kids excited about something other than when the latest Twilight movie is coming out.

Re: Divisional Preview

I am just waiting for all of this to be fake, and we all find out that this was all invalid information. This probably was released so they could drive us nuts with only a couple people of knowing the real information. It's just like a game hint, just not as exciting.
