Re: [FRC Blog] Two Championship Survey Results and Path Forward

My beef with the "Favor/Oppose 2 Championships" question is that it was asked without context (or, more charitably, that it was asked assuming that the respondents all knew that context). It's like asking people if they favor/oppose eating their vegetables.

Better questions might have been:

"Do you favor/oppose two championships, if FIRST brought the two winning alliances together to crown one true champion?"

or,

"Do you favor/oppose two championships that are tiered, with all of the highest-ranked, most competitive robots attending one of the two events to determine the one true champion?"

or,

"The highest number of teams that could be accommodated by a single championship event is 650. The total number of FRC teams is increasing each year. Do you favor/oppose two championships, knowing that the number of teams attending a single championship each year will (on a percentage basis) continue to decrease?"
