I agree. This can be extremely unfair, because I have personally witnessed Michigan rookies become captains/first pics at multiple events in their first year of competition. Take, for example, 4967 in 2014, or 5980 this year. They, and many other rookie/inexperienced teams deserved to compete with Michigan's best and brightest from previous years, but would have been denied a chance at competing in this event solely based on the age of their team. On the flip side of that, you have Michigan teams, who generally perform at an amazing level, that would be admitted to this event that might not be performing at that level that particular year. An example of this is 469. Great team, generally perform at an exceptional level, but this year was not their year.
However, I agree that it would be nice to play with Michigan's best teams in a given season. My alternate proposal is an offseason event with an application process
based on that years season, similar to IRI. Whether that be a new event in the summer, or WMRI in the fall, it would be a great alternative.
