- Eliminate advancing RAS. Best rookie is still a rookie.
- 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. |
Eliminating all of those teams that got to Worlds by means of awards and such is shunning a
lot of teams that do not necessarily deserve to be shut out of the experience. Doing so wouldn't fix much and your solution is way far right on the spectrum while having two Champs is on the far left. It definitely doesn't have to be all or nothing.
