What if we went back to Epcot...
 
If they ever branched back to Epcot for a championship, or semi-championship.

Or more over, if they have a three tiered system in place.
You would win a district/regional, or win an award that qualified you to go, or lottery. Then you wouldn't go straight to Championships, but something like a middle road that weaves out more teams. Then a few teams go on to compete in championships. This idea will weave out the team that weren't the best, and still give you more play time. This also stops the 2 world champs ideas, because this will condense the teams going. If this was to be a thing, there would be about 3 "semichamp" regionals. One would be great for epcot. Then the last would be Saint Louis, or wherever champs would be.

Thought?

Sounds kind of like districts... Although it would be interesting if FRC adopted the FTC structure where there are:

Qualifiers
State/Region Champs
Super Regionals
and then Champs

We don’t have firm plans to proceed with this particular concept, although it’s still being considered. While you may have seen a PowerPoint slide that’s been floating around on websites and forums purportedly showing a detailed breakdown on how FRC Super-Regionals will be implemented, you may want to check the dates on that slide. It’s a good two years old, and was created as one potential concept, not a firm plan.

In terms of the logistics of actually holding an FRC event at Epcot, it's not the ideal situation. There are no indoor venues at Epcot that could handle an event, and I think most people would want to avoid tents.

Now, there are good venues in Walt Disney World, mainly the Cornado Springs Resort Exhibition Hall, that could hold an FRC event without struggle. An Championship sized event is still out of the question though. However, A massive double field regional style event is doable.

The Orlando Convention Center could hold everything. Right off I Drive and plentyis of hotels around.

It is not going to happen, the city is not depressed.
