That's how it should have started back in the day AND kept like it.

If FIRST is truely based off sports, then the only true champs would have a shot to be world champs. The regionals would act like the playoffs, where only the winners get to play in the champs. but unlike sports, we have the original 12, CA winners, and a few other award winners that have the right to get there. But still that is the right to get there other then hey, it's an open sign up want to go to atlanta?
