While 100 team fields are less than ideal, splitting to 8 fields caused a noticeable decline in the depth and overall competitiveness of each field.
How so? I have heard others say this, but I don't find any actual evidence of such.
Many predicted "stand outs" didn't make it to the finals of their divisions, and there really did not seem like a lack of scoring capability capping scores. Lots of #1 alliances didn't win their division, which means that there was enough depth to form competitive alliances.
I don't think the mix would have dramatically changed 2014 either.
