[PAR_WIG1350]

Since a 4-level system has issues, perhaps the DCMP level could be dropped and the top n(%) of teams from each district (and maybe the winners of any remaining regionals) could immediately advance to the super-regional level.
They could keep the proposed team exchange program to add variety to the pool at each super-regional. International teams would likely still be competing in a regional-like system, and FIRST could try to distribute them evenly amongst the super-regionals. I think the elements are there to make each super-regional sufficiently CMP-like to achieve FIRST's goals. I also think it could easily be achieved within a decade.
