Re: Ideas to move in the direction of making FIRST competitions 'fair'
The simplest (doesn't require whole new divisions), although cleary not ideal, way would be to make a championships for the bottom 25% (or some other amount) ranking teams or some idea like that. It would work, but not very well.

Maybe a division at championships where you can only compete if you haven't won a regional (or bigger) in 2-3 years? This would replace one of the four divisions. This seems better, but still not ideal.

If they truly try to fix this problem, it would take some serious work and thought.
