I think it's curious that they boxed themselves in a little by declaring that it would be based on geography in the original announcement. I'm not sure how other teams would react to this, but I think our team would welcome a "division 2" sort of experience until we were strong enough to graduate to the "division 1" field.

This sort of breakdown (by team strength if you will) would solve the obvious problems of "who are the world champions" (div 1 winner) and "dang we probably won't ever see 1114 and 254 together at champs again".
