Re: Qualifying for CMP in the future
Folks seem to be fixated on the "six or seven teams" part than the "per regional" part. Who says every event has to be a regional?
I know we compete at two events because we ALWAYS do better at our second event. It's happened every single season 2815's competed in FRC*.
*Okay, so it was hard to improve on regional champion this season...but even then, we ran better in qualification rounds at Palmetto.
If FIRST were to stage some more district-esque second-tier events, even without a formalized district system in an area, it might be able to reduce the number of regionals required to meet the needs of teams. It might be difficult to convert smaller/weaker existing regionals to these events, especially events in the Middle of Nowhere, but it would reduce the number of Championship slots needed.
