Going off of this, at the smaller events last year where there were only 24 or 25 teams total, almost every robot got picked for elimination, and the "worst" robots at the competition ended up on the top alliances and won events. Because of this, you had many teams get enough district points to make it to state even if they never moved during the competition. I personally would be in favor of Georgia having only 3 events total with around 40 teams each until we can do a better job of "filling up" 4 events. I would say that the ideal locations for events based on where teams are actually located would be somewhere inside the perimeter, somewhere in Roswell or Marietta, and somewhere near Macon.
