This might seem crazy, but hang with me on this

A lot of people seem to be anticipating 8 divisions. I don't personally think there is enough space to host 8 separate events because of the fact the noise from the neighboring events would become a problem.

Someone mentioned earlier that we could run two fields side by side... but then you have seating problems, and if you assume 150 per division, getting to know all of those teams becomes hard and makes scouting too hard. (Although it would be more fun)

Ultimately this is the solution, but it would need to be done so there is more separation between the two fields.

Change last years divisions..... to leauges. (insted of curie division it gets referred to as curie leauge)

The two fields making up the curie leauge are now referred to as divisions of the curie leauge.

Right Curie Division, Left Curie Division

East Curie Division, West Curie Division

Upper Curie, Lower Curie

Red Curie, Blue Curie

(you see how there are many more possibilities)

The teams play a total of 10, 11, 12, or 16 matches before elimination.(depending on rank and new selection for worlds) 10 Against their own division and max of 6 "mid selection" against the other.

The first round of the selection process occurs before the "mid selection" matches. (The number one and two teams for the elim. alliances will play together for the six interleauge matches before elim.)

The next 8 ranked teams get to play two games of the 6 while the next 30 only get one. The selection process than resumes, as if the matches never occurred.(followed by an extra round of selection for an alternate team in the event of a malfunction) Although unlikley, a team that did not make mid selection matches can still be selected in the alternate seed.

The only significance of mid selection matches is that record for these matches determine the elim seeding, not the pre selection seed of the alliance captian.

The divisions than play a elimination bracket determining the team that makes Einstein (Two teams from each leauge)

In Einstein, the two divisions making up the leauges play each other first, leaving only one from each leauge for the semifinals.

I know I said team instead of alliance like 20 times, and I know there is probably a good reason why this won't work, but it is good to switch things up, to keep them interesting.
