People asking why we don't add an intermediary level of comeptition between R/SCMP and WCMP must not be raising money for their team's registration fees.

I could see a Super Regional/World Championship setup working if World Champs goes down to a 150 team event in the summer, like a super IRI, and FIRST works out a deal with a sponsor (or broadcaster?) to eliminate registration fees. Take all 16 Super Regional Winners, all 4 Championship Chairman's Award Finalists, the top 120 teams not in these categories, and the last 10 go to something like top 10 rookies or HoF teams.
