I think that FIRST will have to start limiting the nationals in some way, if not this year then the next year.
I still haven't figured out what I think the best way to do this will be, but I think they should try to include as many teams in the nationals as possible. Since they were able to accomodate more than 300 teams this year, FIRST should aim to have at least 300 teams at the nationals.
I think you should include not only the top seeds from the regionals, but their alliance partners as well. I also think that teams that did well on the chairmans award should be able to go to nationals and get their award. I also think that the judges at each regional should have a certain number of slots to fill with what they beleive are the most deserving teams, using whatever criteria they want.
I hope that FIRST doesn't decide to go to a small nationals that loses its luster.
