I guess you got me there. Good points!

You see, I was basing my points on personal experience. This year my team managed to attend a regional for the first time in our three year history. For our first two years, we were not 'average'. Both years we finished within the top 30, the second of which we were seeded sixth. Not too shabby. And this is without a regional.

Under your proposed system, my team would have been dragged down to a certain extent. But I see now that my team is probably not representative of the majority of teams that don't go to regionals. In fact, my team didn't not go due to lack of funding. We had plenty of money last year, we just didn't have a regional within a practical distance.

This year we did...
Thanks NASA!!

Sounds like this thing may be workable after all!
