This would be cool, dibs on team Andrew Schreiber
More seriously, the current system, assuming that the "registration dates" method is actually how it works, is perfectly fine to an extent. Personally, I don't think there should be any sorting based on perceived "powerhouse" nature of the team. There's plenty of top-tier teams who aren't well known, and there's plenty of big-name teams whose strength is overestimated because they're "that big-name team." Yeah, Newton's top-heavy, but the current methodology is random and considers every team without bias based on reputation. I feel bad for those top-tier teams who won't get a well-deserved trip to Einstein, but there's plenty of deserving teams every year who don't get to go. The only difference is that this year, most of them are in the same division.
