District (2 day event) > District (2 day event)> super regional (3 day) like Seattle has with 2 events at once. You could have both the winners go to worlds. To please the fans they might have the winners of the 2 event meet to have a super regional winner. FIRSTWA has approx. 100 teams now this could work very well.

Well currently, MAR has 99 teams in it. Based on the ranking points that teams accumulate at the two district events that they go to, the top 60 teams get to go to the MAR Regional Championships in Philadelphia, where there is one field. The three winners at Philly, the two (yes, two) Chairman's award winners, the one EI winner, the RAS winner, and the top 5 ranked teams based on the total amount of ranking points get to advance from Philly to St. Louis. The full details of the MAR system can be found
