But I digress.) and then Siri pointing out you'd need 60 Championsplit events for that number. I'm not entirely sure where Siri got that number (if there are 10,000 FRC teams, and 25% of teams attend Championship events, and each event fits 400 teams, then shouldn't it be 7 Championsplits?) but other people were using that number so I ran with it. Mea culpa. |
I explain the math in my own post (emphasis mine):

Current model is 600/CMP: 600 teams at CMP / (0.5/100 qual rate) = 120,000 total teams
Future qual model: always 25% of teams (actually, I used 20% for the 60 number): 120,000 teams * .25 qual rate = 30,000 qual'd teams
Future CMP model: 400/CMPs*: 30,000 qual'd teams / 400 teams per CMP = 75 CMPs
*worth wondering how many venues and cities can actually support that.
