The format of just 24 making eliminations out of 100 or more teams, seems a bit too low.
2013 was the perfect example of why such a format would have been useful.
Teams were rushing to get reinspected after they attached a blocker against full-court shooters.
At IRI and TRR, we just selected a robot that could already do it.
I would guess that every team that attends CMP would want a greater chance at making eliminations.

I'm on record as liking this idea back in 2010. I'm still on board.
