Re: Frank Answers Fridays: Expanded Championship Qualification

Hm. Something is vaguely unsatisfying with the comment about 'a district with 10% of the teams gets 10% of the slots'. That's the case now (more or less), but I'm just not following the logic to expand that to 600 slots, guaranteeing a near-overbooking situation every year. And the absurdity of sending 60 teams from MI.*

I think it's me.

I do understand the logic of equal representation though. Either you run districts, which get a proportional representation (and rewards you for growing FRC), or you run regionals, which gets you (about) 6 slots per regional (and rewards you for being able to fund more regionals).

I don't envy the task force.


*Not that they're not welcome, but as AGPapa pointed out, the MSC becomes pointless for everyone but 4-5 teams.
