Evening out the field by providing more time to those that do not go to multiple regionals is a good idea. But, as long as we are going to completely change the rules, how about this (I think Joe J suggested this a long time ago):

Many sports have class divisions based on some criteria. For example high school and college sports are broken up by school size. Baseball has A, AA, AAA and the Majors. Maybe we can use this analogy. What if we had divisions such as A, AA, etc.? The rookie or novice teams that do not have much funding could compete in these classes. Those that have plenty of experience and funding can go to the top class. A rookie team could choose to join a higher class with the understanding that they would be competing against the best. Regionals could cover some or all the classes. The nationals could occur at different dates or times for each class thereby allowing more teams to compete.

We could have classes for 'totally student built' or 'shoestring budget' or whatever. The 'major leagues' or 'heavyweight class' is what all teams would strive for but they could compete and get experience in the lower classes until they are ready for the big leagues.

What do you think of this?

Raul
