  2. Eliminate advancing 2nd and 3rd picks. They're usually just along for the ride on the winning alliance.
  3. Eliminate advancing chairman's, HoF, and EI robots. Their robot didn't get them there, so that would water down the competition.
  4. Eliminate advancing RAS. Best rookie is still a rookie.
  5. Eliminate advancing original and sustaining teams. Just cause you used to be good...
I mean, if we're serious about crowning the one true champion and all that.
Do all that (in allowing those entries) and keep it in one city. It works. Two cities does not work... always a step-child competition. Is the world clamoring for 800 in champs?
