8 match play regionals really put teams at a disadvantage to teams that are able to attend, say.... Waterloo where there are 13(!!!) qualification matches, or district teams where they get 24(!!!!!!!!!) matches for the same price.

I do understand the point and the competitive nature of FRC. That being said, I see greater value in the educational aspect of FRC beyond the competition. My son is gaining an extremely valuable experience that will better prepare him for his eventual career choice than what he will learn in high school. Yes, more matches is nice and all, but the real payoff of FRC for my son is his future. That's my big picture view.
