I love the idea as well!

It's a great way to attract the public, because watching matches can only be so entertaining (if your not rooting for somebody specifically, or placing bets... it gets boring and repetitive rather quickly). I also always have the challenge to make sure everybody on my team has something to do during competitions... its hard to place an entire team in the pit. Therefore, if a convention was attatched to nationals... a team could be given a subject to present and the rest of the team could be involved in that aspect (maybe something tied in with their sponsors?)

It would be great if this could actually get off the ground...
