Predictions: The Return of One Championship?

I personally do not feel strongly for or against the split champs decision, but many looking at the two champs as glorified super-regionals got me thinking...

As the reasoning behind two champs is to increase inspiration, and to accommodate the growth of FRC, we can come to the logical conclusion that at some point in time, FIRST will have to expand champs again, as FRC continues to grow.

They could expand to three champs, but at that point, I was thinking they could just make 4 super regionals (northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest?) and bring back a single championship.

I believe it is just a matter of time before something like this happens, and we return to like how it was "in the good old days".

So as this is the dawn of the "2 Champs Era" I figured we should all predict/ discuss the end of this upcoming awkward period in FIRST history.

1) When will we return to single champs? (if ever)
2) Will they use the super regional system similar to other FIRST programs?
3) How many super-regionals will there be?
4) How will they determine who makes the championship?
5) Where will the lines for the super regions be drawn?
6) What venues will likely host the super regionals?
7) How many teams make each super regional the year single champs returns?
8) How many teams make championships?
