Or maybe you do like randomized groups at the beginning of the year with every team in FIRST. Then, after you are put into a group, you play through a normal year of FIRST accumulating points like in a district but not from anywhere specifically, just from where you compete. And then at the end of the regular season, the top X teams from each group go to Worlds. Like say 1592, 1986, 1983, 175 could all end up in the same group(there would be more than 4 but those are the 4 that came to mind first) but 1592 plays at Orlando, 1986 at GKC, 1983 at Spokane, and 175 at Boston; say they all win the regional undefeated, then each team would have the same number of "group points" towards getting that slot at Worlds.
