What about the 6 times the number of regional's as spots for championships?
352 at championship this year
minus 25(founding teams, chairman award winners, last years winners, and last years engineering inspiration winner)
divide by 6(winners, rookie allstars, inspiration, chairman award winners)
= about 55 regionals(not taking off for districts)
meaning FIRST is looking at having about 330 regionals!
that is a ridiculous amount of teams.
but we only had 27 regional in 2004, and next year we will put a strain on championship with all the new regionals.
At that number of teams districts wiil be able to be in every region
