What if it doesn't have to be that way?

What if the 3rd pick on each alliance, the wait-listed qualifiers and other teams are invited to one championship, and the alliance captains and 1st picks are invited to the other championship?

That seems to maintain the competitiveness while simultaneously including more teams.

I suppose you can dream that it will end up that way, but the quote from Don Bossi suggests otherwise...
