I get what your saying, but I'm hoping that that FIRST is now truly listening to what the teams want.
A two tiered championship model could work, instead of a venue becoming "better" than then other; we go into the process with a Venue "A" as the premiere event. Granted, Venue "B" is a slightly lesser event, but it provides a place for the really good but not great teams to have a meaningful competition. The inspiration is there for all students and the motivation for venue "B" teams to elevate to the venue "A" self evident.
