I think once districts completely displace regional events, then that only makes sense -- especially with the promise of inter-district play.
I'm all for having the most competitive Championship experience, but the impact of a Championship on a less-than exemplary team also needs to be noted -- I've had the distinct pleasure of seeing faces light up with inspiration at the level of play at the Championship. However, some of those teams wouldn't have gotten there if they hadn't been that third robot to the #1 alliance. So I guess what I'm saying is that the top teams should go, but that also needs to be weighed against the merits of letting weaker teams experience Champs.
