Making the playoffs qualifies you to compete to become the single champion of your sports league.
Qualifying for Championships enters you into a competition to be part of a single champion alliance.
I don't feel it's a false equivalence. If making the playoffs is no big deal, ask a Mets fan.
If the World Series is the equivalent the Qualifying for championships, then that's 6%, or around 200 FIRST teams. Cut the size of Championships to 1/3. That's about the size of champs when I was a student. In 2001, 14 years ago.
