Describe in what ways specifically.

From what I see the championship is fundamentally the same but with more divisions and venue splitting allowing for a ~600 team cap for FRC instead of a ~400 team cap last year. That isn't much different from 2014 and subsequently prior years using the same basic structure. Thus they would be familiar with how the 2015 will work because it is structurally the same as what they have been familiar with.

They made a system and duplicated a part (divisions) while shifting another (FTC/FLL) to make room. It's actually a good example of a systems/industrial engineering problem. Also this concept isn't incompatible with the split championship model and likely could be implemented at either with proper planing.
