That's where you and I disagree. There are more winners since there will be a set of winners at each event. More people competing means more teams exposed and a great mix of teams exposed. This will mean that the over all level of competition will go down. I think they understood that when they made the change. Not sure how 25% of teams is "all teams" competing.

I see this as FIRST going back to its roots. This will be closer to what FIRST was like in its first few years.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
