Going 4 years with 2 champs is going to leave a generation of FRC with the expectation of 800 teams going to 2 champs. The current generation plus the veteran mentors are not happy now - but what happens in 2021 when it doesn't combine into one championship? Will anyone expect the "old timers" care?
They could potentially run it like they do FTC - where they have 4 "super regionals" which then feed into the World Championship again. I think they had something like that drafted up in 2011 but I could be mistaken.
