I see a lot of people saying "but its going to hurt a LOT of teams"

I think what they might mean is, "My team won't get to go"

Teams that are used to going to the Championships every year need to understand that going to Epcot or Houston or Atlanta does not mean you've had a succesful season. If you're worried that kids on your team won't want to join because there's no big trip at the end, why don't you sign up for a Regional on the other side of the country. Fund-raise for that and begin oto get away from the somewhat selfish (although justifiably so to an extent) idea that "my team deserves to go to Championships because we are so good"
