Um, how? My initial reply said that the idea of high preforming teams skipping championships entirely after qualifying merit based completely subverts the the argument that splitting champs stops other teams from seeing the best play in person. And that regardless of any other stated reasons sends a negative and demeaning message to other teams.

The second responds to a rebuttal that points out truthfully that what teams do for each other outside of championships often outweighs the single event. My response to that is why then the problem with a geographically split championship vs one split by robot ability? It shouldn't matter that it is split and measures suggested in the post I was replying to in the first place shouldn't be necessary.

At what point did I actually "assault every successful team". When you refuse to go to the official final event(s) in order solely to have one final elite competition it does sound like you don't want to be bothered with everyone else.
