I dont think that reducing the teams that get to go to the big show is the correct approach. Increasing capacity at CMP is better. If that means moving it to Orlando to be in the worlds largest convention center then so be it.

I did the math a few weeks ago, 10 FRC fields (8 divisions + Einstein/FLL + FTC) CAN be placed in the floor area of the EJD, 4 down each side, plus one between the rows on each end.

Get more pit space (as far as I understood, we only occupied part of the convention center), and bam, you have doubled CMP capacity, and just have to adjust the schedule, and speeches and stuff on Einstein to make more time to hold 8-12 more matches on Einstein.
It would be tight, yes, but it could be done.

Might need a few extra curtains for modifying the directionality of the sound from each field.
