I think our collective competitive juices could help keep the events more or less balanced. For every team that thinks "I want to be on an alliance with 1114!", there is one that thinks "I want to go to the other event and meet them in the Superbowl". Plus there are still 'random' divisions at each event.
A little league world series format would be interesting, it would really help with regional influence, would a TV Viewer rather say go 1114! Or go Team Ontario! If a Superbowl, TV style event happens, and the Championship acts as a qualifier for it you really need to design the event contestants for a TV audience. The community still has the ability to do IRI type stuff on their own.
