Everybody should go to EPCOT, so I'd only favor such a plan if day#1 at Disney was treated as the 8th regional and everybody then had the chance to make it into the 64-team final elimination tournament.


: Imagine with this year's format if we would have used the regionals as qualifiers for the Nationals!

: Imagine if the top 8 from each regional got to pick an alliance partner to bring with them. Then the Nationals could be one large best 2-out-of-3 double elimination competition (four matches guaranteed).

: Would you want the top 8 to have the right to pick anyone from any regional or would it be better if they had to stick with whomever they chose as their partner at the regionals?
: I would like to hear others opinions on this.

: And since there were 7 regionals, imagine if there could also be 8 wildcard alliances allowed into the nationals.
: How would we pick these wildcard teams? Maybe based on some award given at the regionals

: Imagine that each team was allowed spend 1 week during the time between the regional and nationals working with your allinace partner to help each other optimize their robots.
: What do you think of this?
