Re: Proposal for the 2 Championship format

Just for context (not sure if there is good data on declines/wildcards for 2015)

505 Slots existed in 2014:
Regionals (56) x 6 = 336 Slots
Districts (5) =169 Slots

The district slots increased substantially this year. Even with that, you only need to trim 105 slots to keep one championship "qualification only". Seems pretty practical depending on what approach you want to take to trim teams.

Unfortunately, I don't see FIRST pursuing a two-tier solution.
