It would be very cool if we have the "Grady Cup" event. Each team get to qualify for the Grady Cup at the regionals they went to. Imagine only the best teams get to attend, and the best of the best play together to determine the king of the event. That's going to be totally wild!

There are a tons of west coast teams who would love such an event. You mentioned the cheesy poofs, kingman, and GRT, but there are few other teams who are not exactly famous to the rest of the country, and always have a powerful machine each year, like Beachbot 330, Thunderbot 980, Team 968, and team 852. And they are going to take the champion trophy sooner or later!
