Our 1996 banner says "National Champions"

Yeah, our banner from last year (2002 Championship Finalists)...I believe it says National Finalists but the ribbion with the medal doesn't.

When I brag to the members of my community, I always make it a point to say International finalist. Much more impressive.

I found the program from the 1994 Championship. It just talks about the Competition. However the winners from 1992 and 1993 are listed as "National Champions." But of course this was when it was "US FIRST" and was US only. I doubt it has been officially called the Nationals or National Championship since the addition of international teams and the dropping of US from the name.

archive.org keeps copies of websites from as far back as 1996. It was before the 1997 season that USFIRST became FIRST. The 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001 site all refer to the national championship. It is only 2002 and later that FIRST calls it just the championship. But, just like people call it USFIRST sometimes (even though that change happened 6 years ago), people still call it Nationals or National Championship, and probably will for quite some time.
