With only 0.5% of teams attending the current Worlds model, you'd need
60 "championsplits". Predicting that we can preserve the championship experience spilt in half is one thing. 60ths is a super regional experience. Nothing wrong with that, but that's an entirely different FRC that's decades away at least. We currently have no idea what it'd mean to FIRST performance metrics to have that level to advance to without
also having Worlds to aim for, and even that's only been discussed abstract. It (0.5%) is an unrealistic dichotomy for today's situation that exaggerates the current issue past it's real cost-benefit discussion. Who knows what the "history of the structure of FIRST" post will like by the time we're facing that balancing act (e.g. is 60 necessary or is 58 okay, because those last two venues are really pushing it?)
