I appreciate that FIRST made this move.
Divisions will feel more like a large regional and begin to hold their own meaning.
I agree on every point

Holding an awards ceremony for every division really does turn it into more of a regional (or dare I say a super-regional) kind of format. There's no downside to giving out more awards and recognition to teams. I've always wondered about about machine features and the teams who win awards during worlds but have never been able to make a connection because the award winners are likely to be outside of my division.

Awesome move!
