That makes a bit more sense then! I don't think I've heard it called Super Regional before... even though there are two, FIRST still calls them champs, so why would we invent new terminology to confuse people with?

Some people prefer more accurate designations. It's arguable which one is more clear.

I'll take more matches!

I am going with 11, but I think a number of teams in PWN, NC, and GA just miss the DCMP or SCMP cutoffs will get in on waitlist and have the funds to go. Also I think a number of Texas and Louisiana teams will get in easily on waitlist.

Seeing as FIRST clearly calls both Championships and no where in FRC even mentions the "Super Regional" term, I don't really see that as all that arguable.

Community-invented terminology for something that FIRST has already provided terminology for only leads to confusion.

I hope/suspect that Hall of Fame and Founding teams will be given an option year to year though I also hope/suspect that FIRST will try to ensure some level of balance in the Hall of Fame teams.

FIRST has taken feedback in the past on what event designations could be. District Events were once proposed be qualifying events, and district championships used to be called different things depending on the geography of the region.

The same argument can be made for changing the common definition of a word to have a different meaning:

From Miriam Webster's Definition of "Championship":
Quote:
an important competition that decides which player or team is the best in a particular sport, game, etc.
(Note the singular use of team, or in our case substituting alliance would be appropriate.)

While Super Regional may not be FIRST's approved term, it does more aptly describe the event.

I wouldn't be surprised if South Championship just plain does not fill up all the way, with a limited process for switching to that championship and two of the larger district regions, plus WI / MN teams competing Week 7, being ineligible.
I've been using the abbreviation 7R for Seven Rivers. Not an official abbreviation.

I'm calling them the "North Conference" and "South Conference" Championships.

I've been saying North and South Half Champs since the term "Half Champs" was coined.

I think 6 is still open as a bet, so I'll take that.

Is this where I get to talk about Conference pride?

"The NCC is overrated"
"The SCC is top heavy"
"We need to schedule more OOC events"
