The goal is to encompass ALL the high schools in the nation yet we restrict the big event to 300 teams. Thats the problem. 400 WOULD be better, 800 would be better still. What's the limit? Who knows. But if nobody ever looks it expand the event it will always be 300.

I agree that it is not a true championship, for that to happen the ideas of West Coast/East Coast regional champions moving on to a semi-final championship, then onto a culminating championship. But restricting it to that would cause a huge riot that I don't wanna be around for.
Expanding the event would be nice, but it would cause an increase in entry fees, no doubt.....Its been said time and time before, FIRST has a logistical nightmare with the championship, and they would have to re-think their plans before making it that big.
