It was an opportunity that my team could NOT afford to give me at a regional or a championship event because the stakes are much higher and the cost per match that much more.
If everyone on my team that wanted a turn was allowed one, I can only imagine there are other teams that do similarly at off season events.
I don't think my team missed the boat entirely that year, I think they got it right.

No you misunderstood my post. You think that just calling a 2nd event a "FIRST Championship" will make teams want to win it more; I believe it will not. Teams fight tooth and nail to win the current World Championship, not because it's FIRST's, but because of the prestige it holds amongst the community.
