My thoughts on the Future of Nationals
Here are my thoughts:
1: The National tournament should be at Disney for as long as possible
2: Teams should have to qualify for the national tournament.
3: Teams should be able to qualify through a strong showing in any of the FRC’s main components (Regionals, Chairman’s Award, Animation, etc.)
4: There should be a lot of teams at the National Competition (250+)
Issues:
1: How to resolve the qualifying vs. planning issue?
a) Long break (2 months min.) between end of regionals and Nationals
b) Qualifying for 200N Nationals based on 200(N-1) performance (with a certain # of wildcards for top regional performers, Chairman’s Award finalists, Animation finalists, etc)
This is the only way I could think to present my thoughts without writing a book. I know that there are problems (and I can even think of solutions for a couple), but I just want to put this out there and see what people think.
P.J.
