I do agree with you that powerhouse teams dominate, however I disagree with forcing powerhouses to compete at only their home.

If you forced powerhouses to compete at only one regional, then all the other teams would have to only compete at one regional as well, to make it not look like discrimination. If that happened, then there would be less collaboration that is seen.

My idea is to choose the alliance captain from the second place team and send them to championships. For ex. team X wins San Diego. Two weeks later, they win LA. Team Y was the captain of the other finalist alliance. Give team X's alliance partners and team Y an invitation to champs. Team X already has its invitation from San Diego. In the rare case that 2 or more of team X's alliance have already won as well, team Y's first and second pick would also be given an invitation.

This would allow for more teams to experience the aura of championship, and allow for greater mingling.

Just my thoughts.
