How so?
According to the FiM website, 18 teams qualify for the world championships, out of the entire FiM district system. That is 18 teams out of a possible 171. Just over 10%. Now extrapolate that to the 2000 teams in FRC currently, you have just over 200 teams at the Championship. Plus the Oldies/HoF/Former Champion teams, you're looking at 230-240.
Seems pretty sustainable to me, until FIRST gets to be 3500+ teams. Thats a good problem to have.
Maybe we're talking about different problems. Or maybe I don't understand what you mean by 80% of the seats being spoken for.
It seems to me the moving to a district system just makes sense.
