Re: Arranging Houston vs St. Louis
Hold a special dedicated best-of-3 matchup at IRI between the two champion alliances. This would be separate from the main IRI competition, which of course the champion teams could participate in as well. Maybe with FIRST sponsoring the entry fee for the teams concerned. Still extra travel, but at least it's during summer rather than during the school year.

Of course, any plan would be very challenging for a non-North American team to participate in. We haven't had an Australian or Israeli team be on a championship-winning alliance yet (as far as I'm aware), but it's good to consider all possibilities.
