I honestly think that the 25% mark is way too high. This is the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS after all. This is where the best of the best compete in a much higher scoring matches that make for much greater excitement.
The point being, not every team can be "the best of the best" once every four years. That is, after all, kind of the point of being in that fairly exclusive group of teams that regularly perform at a higher level and regularly win.
I PERSONALLY think that championship competitors need to be capped at the 600 level that we have now, and as the program grows it should simply be harder to get in and a more valuable experience. Whatever percentage that is, that would be the percentage.

Yes! CHAMPIONSHIPS should be for the best of the best. I almost feel guilty when, like last year, our team got to the championship being around 30th in FiM. In other sports, only the winners would advance. In FIRST, it is easier to have more teams attend, so more teams should qualify, but not 800.
