This year there were about 21,000 teams, with about 84 spots at World Festival. (To my knowledge.)

My opinion is that all programs should remain in the same venue together, at the same time. This lets students (and others!) to see the other programs and what they do.

From what I remember from last year I tried to find a more exact FLL number but since FIRST doesn't(didn't) have that information on their website I ended up just estimating a lowish number.

If your numbers are correct than 0.4% of FLL teams qualify for the World Festival.
