What will hurt teams is that a lot of them improve through regionals and such, some teams do great at Nationals and not regionals. Overall the new system is ok, but I like the 2004 system better.
I agree with you. I agree with FIRSTs efforts to get all the teams to the Championship, but its going to hurt a LOT of teams. If we look at is as so everyone gets a chance to go to the championship, its a good system. Some teams who deserve to be there might just not be able to make it. For e.g. Last minute travelling stuff... I just see too much chaos in this system, but I guess we'll have to adjust. I liked the earlier system better.. but thats just me..
