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.

Cutting before measuring is always a bad thing.

Putting multiple championships may be viable way, way down the road. But you need the lower tier infrastructure first. And, as of now, they seem to be skipping all that.
