How can we, the FRC community, best fulfill the goals of FIRST and FRC? Having fewer events with the best of the best, or more events where we have a mix of great and mediocre teams?

If we want to have people get excited about FIRST, and have people "tune in" (whether in person at an event, or online, etc.), do we want all the matches to be exciting (best of the best, even if there are fewer total teams) or do we want to have a ton of teams (and thus some not so great matches/"shows")?

Does having two champs, and twice the number of teams, lower the level of competition and excitement? Does that actually detract from the goal of exciting more people? Or does more events (more teams, but a lower level of competition) cause a greater impact and excite more people?

Personally, I feel that having a smaller world champs where the matches are all more exciting, and you can focus more on each team during the event would be more effective and exciting.
