If you would like to make the Championship more competetive, you need to remove the even / odd system and make it purely qualification. Only teams who qualify in year XX can go to year XX's Championship Event (with the obvious exception of previous champions and Chairman's Award winners). The qualification system would need to be revised.

Trend has it that Nationals can hold 300 teams. This year, half of 800 is 400... so I guess many of the odd teams out there just couldn't afford it. If growth in FIRST continues as it has been... we will have around 1000 teams next year, and around 500 of them would be automatically eligable for the event. Meaning, they either have to make Nationals bigger... or change the system to being "purely qualifying."
It's just a matter of when...
