If nationals absolutetly has to be invitation only, I would maybe suggest having regionals in the spring, followed by Nationals in the fall? Only problem with this is, you get into problems with graduation and such, as well as hurricane season in florida. Ok, rethink (I'm obviously typing as I think here!) How about regionals in the fall, end around Christmas time, so that fall semester is FIRST instead of winter semester, and have Nationals when they are held now? Of course, I agree with Sue Krussell in that I think Nationals is an incredible experience, as good if not better for learning than a regional, gives everyone a chance to meet sooo many other people, exchange ideas, see how other teams are run, see more machines, and oh so much more, and I think an invite-only event should be an absolute last resort to growth.
