But then you have the problem of how to determine the strengths. And if you're wrong, then SOMEBODY's going to be unhappy. (And, to be honest, you can't get it right.)

If the event is 45 minutes away from my hometown, I cant why any team or school district would allow travel to the other champs due to cost.

This also doesn't address the complaints of not being able to see 254, 1114, etc. at a Champs you're attending.

I could be wrong, but I feel like all these problems are solvable with the same system.
1. Allow teams to opt in to whichever division they want
2. Sort teams that don't declare for one or the other using some point system that includes historical results, team size or budget.
3. Don't let 254, 1114, etc. choose.
(That's a joke...)
So it really doesn't solve the last problem of all the great teams at one championship (with those wanting to see them opting in there as well) unless they somehow cooperate to choose that one.
But, it does introduce the idea of divisions, and if this is really simulating the sports world, that's somehow the direction we need to go. I mean, can you imagine Notre Dame playing Local Yokel U. in football? Or Duke thrashing Faber College in basketball?
Just tossing it out there...
