Re: Question of the Week!!! (7/11/04)
I don't think the Championship will ever be outgrown.
It will, however, become harder to get into it.
I see in the not-too-far-off future a point where you're going to have to perform to get to Nationals. I remember an idea that teams could defer a championship invite for a year for logistics. Suppose that was changed <example> so that your acts in 2004 wouldn't get you into the 2004 Championship. Once all of the 2k4 regionals are over, FIRST somehow picks the best 300ish teams (and the last national champions and the chairman's folks and so on) and gives them invites for 2005. 2005's game would then qualify you for 2006.
Just a guess.
