Re: # of Divisions at Championships

I'm leaning more towards the 4 division camp, just from the perspective of volunteers. Doubling the number of divisions would greatly increase the number of necessary volunteers (refs, queueing, scoring, field reset, just to name a few), and I'm not sure FIRST will have enough for it with the split championships - many, if not most, volunteers that attend champs will pick one, not do both.

Personally, I'd love to find a way to split the difference and run 6 divisions. That would make playoffs a lopsided mess, but I think they could probably get enough volunteers for it.
