Re: Lopsided Divisions
If FIRST really cared about a perfect setup for the Championship based on ranking, OPR, etc., they wouldn't invite so many teams in the first place. It is hugely watered down by some mediocre teams. 600 is too many.....

The district championships have higher level quality play (on average) unfortunately, other than the final eliminations.

If all they want is a lot of participation and enjoyment, then a randomized approach is fine. If you put too much reliance in OPR or other metrics, teams will act differently in the districts and regionals and make it a stat-based goal versus a win-based goal.
