Ooh, ooh, I have an idea! We can get major corporations to sponsor post-cheezy-season events all over the country! The can go through a selection process where they invite from the top ranked teams to their venues. We could call it the Plate Championship Series (PCS). After all, we play on a flat surface. There would be four of them, and the "real" Einstein field would rotate among the plates each year. They could have names, like The National Instruments Labview Plate. Or the AndyMark Rivet Plate. Just think how much more fun that will be than allowing all the teams to compete head to head until one winning alliance remains.
