[Grim Tuesday]

I don't know if anyone's proposed any solutions rather than just grousing, but here's an idea:

Send the winner of whichever event is first to the second one (all expenses paid), have them play the winner of the second one for the World Champions title. Lock their robots up right after the final match of the first event to try to minimize the impact that not playing for a week would have. No withholding allowance. The biggest issue is fatigue of the drive team for the one that just went through a whole champs+Einstein elims bracket, but I don't know if there is any other solution. Rotate which event is the earlier week every other year.
