Is the Championship Event supposed to be catering to low-resource teams ie making it free or something? The idea that I was sorta playing off of Sean is that the waitlist can be used as a tool between the two postseason events for low resource teams to save up money and go to these events when they are prepared financially.
I was refuting your statement that the wait list is to benefit low-resource teams. Your point about the wait list making a championship slot predictable so you can save for it is well made. While I generally try to be helpful and pertinent, there is a component to my own entertainment to this as well.

But there is also a yin-yang to this. The core mission of First is to spread STEM. That includes making it affordable to low-resource teams. To have a truly world class top level competition, it is going to be resource hungry, which will make participation by low-resource team difficult.
