Is a regional win today worth less today because there are more regional competitions and more teams winning them? Is a district win today worth less because there are more districts?

Is a championship win 10 years ago worth more or less because a larger percentage of teams qualified? Can you even tell me who won the championship event 10 years ago?
In 2017 where do you go to see the top teams under one arena?

That IS the experience, not a series of bowl like competitions. This is to showcase what students did... worldwide and see the best go head to head. That is inspiring for students and prevents the step-child feeling of one of the "championships"...we already have that, I realize Michigan is better than San Diego (and teams can choose to travel to take a hard or easy road) but at CMP its a fairly even playing field of 600 and the real cream rises regardless of region or country. With North/South that cream rising will never occur and there will not be one event to showcase the best teams..a divided and unequal FIRST.
