Re: North Championship vs South Championship

One way to fix the qualifying space issue is to reduce the number of teams that qualify. I'm not suggesting don't qualify Rookies or EI or Chairman's. I'm suggesting going back to 2v2. Or 2v2v2.

With 2v2, you will see fewer matches at a given event, however, at district events, the increased time between matches may be welcome (but I'll be on the opposite side where 60 team regionals will be LUCKY to get 8 matches). Could make sense if the current indication is only 50 teams in a division though...

But with 2v2v2, you get the best of both worlds. Still have 6 teams on a field a time, so you don't see any change to the current schedules or expectations of match numbers. But you only qualify 2(3) instead of 3(4) teams from an event. Then you only need 6 divisions of 75 and Einstein is some sort of weird round-robin type tournament where everyone plays everyone. But then we need #3Champs. Nevermind
