One of the major things that originally attracted me to FIRST was the diversity of the people that I saw at FIRST events. People came from all over the state, all over the country, and even from other parts of the world, to unite in a common goal and have a lot of fun in the process. I think that changing the format to more of a tournament style process would dilute that tremendously, and we would lose what I see as a major aspect of FIRST.
However, I do see what has been proposed in this thread as a viable option when FIRST grows to such a size where it would be unmanagable to run things as they are currently being run.
This would need to be a gradual change, and FIRST is changing as it is growing. Let's be patient and cross those bridges when we come to them.
