If you use geography, with some sort of allowance to change which event a team goes to (to get a mixture), then EVERYBODY's going to be unhappy roughly equally. That generally translates to less "ruckus" around that.

I mention that if you dig into threads last year, EricH and I worked out a system that we thought would make everyone a bit happier, but we doubt that anything will come of it, at least until after FIRST has some experience with its current proposed model.
