Justin,

You're right... what Joe's proposal did was try to rectify four problems at Nationals:
1. Make the tournament manageable from an organization standpoint (field setup, pit location, team-match assigning).
2. Let us realistically scout each other's competitors (100 teams to scout is much easier than 400 teams).
3. This enables more teams to make it to the finals, along with 'picker' teams having a easier task of choosing their alliances for the finals.
4. The added time between Q matches being over and the alliance picking would be longer in Joe's proposal, and the top 16x4 teams would have ample time to evaluate their selections.

There are some negatives, but I feel that the positives outweigh them greatly.

Andy B.
