I have to say, I am starting to appreciate this criteria more and more as i review it. I am a little disappointed with the treatment of the Rookie Teams that did not attend Championships in 2003, but oh well.
I would like to say though, that without this system, veteran teams would have had it far easier. I think to a point, FIRST has brought them down to a rookie level again. Yes, they get the acknowledgment of being a veteran team by being placed into a higher tier (and that is the recognition for being around for X years), but they now have to work just as hard as any other rookie team to qualify for a Championship spot.
That is the way it should be because teams change on a year to year basis.
So, thank you FIRST for this revision and the changes made to make everyone in FIRST just a little more equal.
