Re: Proposal for the 2 Championship format

I think the World Festival/World Championship format works well in FLL - the looks on my kids' faces when they qualified said it all.

However, I'm not sure that the Festival/Championship format would work for FRC as well as it does for FLL. The FLL community doesn't have the (I'm having a hard time phrasing this) continuity of the FRC community. With FRC, the best teams in the world are world-famous year after year, whereas in FLL, a team is only well-known for a year if they score insanely highly on the course. As a result, FLL teams get really excited about qualifying for a championship, whereas FRC teams get really excited about qualifying for the championship.

That's why the World Festival/World Championship format wouldn't work for FRC.
