On the Contrary, this seems to be a step towards Super Regionals; FIRST is introducing the North and South Super Regional as Championships for now. There's just not enough teams that would get a berth from super regionals to justify a championship smaller than both of them.
Once FRC has expanded to justify the addition of the East and West Super Regionals, they will add those, and reinstate a true championship.
Change hurts, and I my own concerns about the system for the time being, but I'm excited for the path they are taking towards a more scalable system.
