If there are quals... then how does that work? It only takes 16 matches total to get all the teams 12 matches a piece considering that each match has 6 teams playing. ( I am sure that won't work and will probably need some surrogate appearances... but it won't take many....)

Do the the top two qualifiers then get to pick alliances as normal?
Hmmmm looks like the two #1 picks and alliance captains from the other champs could get together.... at least two of them...

This could be interesting.

What does everyone else think? How do you think they will do it?

Surely it won't simply be the Houston winning alliance vs the St. Louis winning alliance... that would be pretty short and hardly worth the money to get the robot out there.... and the team...

Ideas?
They could have divisions basically be an isolated District, and then teams above a certain percentile get qualified in.
