Would we than go back to a smaller single championship event?
At this point, I don't know if we can tell. Part of FIRST HQ's understanding is the Championship "experience" is what they want as many students to be able to experience as possible. Converting that experience to the district championship level will hopefully be more feasible in the coming future. But what defines the championship "experience"? What does FIRST want to provide to as many students as possible, and how can we make it reach as many students as possible?

While I don't know what the answers to those questions are, the reasoning and logic behind the championsplit, to me, indicates that FIRST is trying to bring the experience by having more championship-scale events. It's entirely possible we go from here to 4 super regionals, and not have a culminating championship event. At least that's what I see is in the realm of possibilities, following the logic of this decision.
