I think that FIRST should do what every other respectable sport does and base the divisions on geography. To do anything else is accepting that the teams in certain regions of the country aren't good enough to stand on their own. I think the time has come where we accept that as a fallacy and we put teams in divisions based on their geographies. I also think this would make it more exciting actual regions of FIRST would get to square off against each other. For example if it were mid-west and northeast in the finals when the Northeast beat the mid-west, which I've no doubt they would do handily, we would know once and for all that the northeast is the best region in FIRST. It would enhance the excitement, suspense, and drama of nationals I think. As well as create some pretty cool bragging rights. So I say end divisional affirmative action and base divisions off of geography.
