If FRC is indeed a sport, then we can look at other sporting events, and how they work -- be it NFL, NBA, NCAA, etc. They all have a clear winner, multiple games, etc. They work where each "team" could be considered an alliance, and the alliances stick together the entire season, and sometimes players (teams) are traded between teams (alliances) during the offseason.
If FRC isn't a sport, then we can look at other non-sport events, and how they work -- be it Science Fairs, Trade shows, etc. They all just have people come out and show of/demo their creations and rarely have overall "winners."
Both methods inspire people, and both methods attract different audiences. Which "track" does FRC want to follow?

Today, we are proud to announce that FIRST is about to change the game again, for the better! Beginning in 2017, we are expanding the FIRST Championship by bringing our Sport for the Mind™ to two FIRST Championship host cities.
Seems like First wants to be perceived as a sport for the mind...
