This is incredibly accurate. And although I believe those elite teams do have the right to be worried and concerned, but I think many people are overlooking their privilege to attend championships each year. Not everyone always qualifies, and the chance to go to championships is really a life changing event and one the advances the mission of FIRST. Getting that to more of FIRST's participants is an excellent and neccessary goal.

That being said, is this 'fix' perfect as is? No, but there is still time to make those changes to make it a more enjoyable experience for those elite teams as well as the wait list, rookies, and first-time-attending teams.
