Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/2013 Championship Registration/2013 FRC Season Dates and Deadline
I've been told by very reliable folks that the District Model is coming here to Texas in the next 2-3 years... and that the number of Texas teams, as it stands now, that will qualify for CHAMPIONSHIP is 16 based upon an accumulation of points...
The TOP 16 Texas point accumulators go to the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
This new approach, adding teams from the Regional FINALIST pool, seems like a "bridge" to start to laying track for the coming District Model for the rest of FRC FIRST.
IMHO... when the District Model becomes dominant, IRI will rise even further in relevance and prestige... UNLESS Districts are able to build a stable of super-capable teams to feed to CHAMPIONSHIP like they've done in Michigan.
