"SuperRegionals" absolutely makes sense to FIRST. I sit on the Davis-Sacramento Regional Planning Committee and it is tough for some of these regionals to raise the needed money to hold them. If you double the number of teams, the costs of putting it on do not double!! It's simply more economical. I was told by FIRST regional directors last year that they really wanted to figure out a way to increase the capacity of our Davis event to 50-60 teams by moving the pits to the third level of the event site. This type of vision has been in place for years and whether or not we'll see a big change at Davis, I bet we see the growth of some of the regional events real soon maybe next year
