As far as I'm concerned its one of the best changes HQ has made in a long time.

The only way it could be better is if ANY team pre-qualified for ANY reason (HOF, Original, Previous Year CMP Winners, Previous Year EI Winner), OR earning >1 seat at the SAME event should generate a wildcard. Meaning ANY time a team earns a second seat, regardless of when/how the 2 seats were earned should generate a wildcard at the event that generated the 2nd seat.

Additionally, have a few more teams eligible to earn wildcard seats after the finalist alliance, like say ID winner, or EE winner, or IiC winner, or Highest seed not on the winner or finalist alliance.

My goal with such changes is to have each event qualifying 6 teams not otherwise qualified. Yes I realize this quickly means a bigger Championship. I'm OK with that. It's easy to solve, by having 2 side-by-side fields for each CMP division. Basically doubles match throughput, allowing for more matches/team with more teams, without the sound pollution and additional volunteers needed to run an 8 division CMP.

This same sentiment has been brought up before but the same question still remains, who do you then give that next spot to? What are the criteria for the next spot? If your RCA doubles up, do you give it to the ticket to the 2nd place Chairman's team? But then they are going to CMP for something they didnt get and wont compete for. The same thing could be said for REI too. I think how it is now is how it should stay.
