Dumping bag and tag isn't going to have a chance to happen until the last few parts of the continental US finally roll over to districts. Once we pass a threshold of 2/3 of FRC teams being in the district system format, a lot of switches can probably get flipped.

Think about this, if time extension is such a concern, why not mandate in a district system you have to attend at least one competition before week 4?

Very tangential, but if two champs is such a concern to you, why not realign the season so you fold in district championships in to championships that cover whole super regions or zones of the country?

I think for a small selection of core values and concepts that defined FRC at its inception should remain evergreen, but it's tough to convince me ship day is one of those core concepts if its being bypassed by close to 1000 teams this year.
