Scott, you make a great point. I whipped out the calculator and a quick product gave a pretty good number
17*16=272
Now 17 = number of regionals
16 = number of teams in the elimination tournaments at each regional
272 = just 16 less than the intended first goal (288)
now I know its to late to start this, but if there is one more regional started up we have a pretty interesting solution, possibly for later years
Any thoughts?

Many teams get into eliminations at multiple regionals, so your # would probably fall short. Although if you added the judged award winners and top rookie seeds, it might get you closer to the number. FIRST currently seems torn between letting all teams have a shot at nationals and letting teams that have earned it come to nationals. If they choose the earn your way, I think they should seperate the regionals and Nationalsby a few more weeks to allow teams time to get the trip put togethor. Also we would need cooperation from Disney, as it will be very hard to reserve that # of hotel rooms that late in the season, maybe they could hold a set # of rooms for FIRST teams or soemthing.
