IMO, the answer isn't 100%. If it was 100%, then why call it champs? There needs to be a selection process, and getting there needs to feel like an elite accomplishment. It isn't 50%. I would even say that it isn't 25%.

How does 15% sound to everyone?


15% looks good for now, but might be on the high side if FRC grows. My assumptions in this statement are that anything over 400 teams is unreasonable given the logistics demands, and anything under 300 is undesirable as well.
