4265 qualified for championships by winning the Engineering Inspiration.

2826 and 987 also won a Regional Event.

Would you say these teams focused on Chairman's/EI and not the robot game?
The solution is that 2826 and 987 send their 3 member RCA team to the Inspiration championship and their robot to the Recognition championship if they so choose.

I think the question here is which is the better alternative:

- Geographically allocated super regionals that are unlikely to bring together the most like-minded teams, or
- True world competitions that focus more on either field competition or means of inspiring STEM outreach, or
- One true world championship in one location and another world competition which might lead to qualifying for the next year's world championship?

I like options 2 or 3.

Until we see a proposal from FIRST for a unified championship competition in the current model, any discussion about that prospect is speculative.
