I generated some division lists based on what was outlined in the OP. The pools were slightly different though (mostly because I got the qualification types from a different project I've been working on).
The pools are:
Code:
Winner AC/1
Wildcard AC/1
District Points
CA/EI
RAS
Prequalified
Waitlist
Winner 2/B & Wildcard 2/B
Note that I used
first qualification method, rather than the "highest", and that DCMP winners are in "District Points" pool because FIRST doesn't give DCMP winners automatic qualification.
I've attached an OPR chart for the different divisions, along with the actual distribution last year. The balanced distribution looks slightly better, but there is still a division that's clearly above everyone else.
