Re: [FRC Blog] 2015 FIRST Championship (and beyond) Eligibility

Even if the percentage stayed the same and 60 or so qualified, I could see this as being an issue. The obvious solution is get a bigger state championship, but EMU's convocation center probably can't hold any more teams. Are there any larger possible venues? Maybe two separate state championship events? I guess we'll see pretty soon when they release the dates for registration.
Where'd you get 3,195 FRC teams last year? It was my understanding that there were just under 3,000 for the 2014 season. And even if Michigan grows more next year, other geographic areas might grow as well.
