That is an insufficient response. You will at least need to specify the number of venues for this sentence to mean anything. |
Nope
It is a perfectly fine response. What it means is that the question, in the sense/context it was posed, is nearly irrelevant.
It means that instead of thinking of the Championship(s) as an event that filters out unworthy teams; one should instead think of a Championship(s) as an event that brings in as many teams as is possible.
How many teams attend the FIRST Championship(s) should depend on how many teams can be accommodated by the venue, the number of conference speakers, etc; and not some arbitrarily chosen threshold of match-worthiness.
FRC includes competition matches, but FRC's purpose is not competition matches.
YMMV
