Regionalization is a great idea! Less luck would be a good thing, but think of the organization... They could hold a draft on Wednesday night, and split the teams into four random groups. When everyone arrives on Thursday, the hangar could be split into four areas. If FIRST gets their expected 50% growth, they would need one extra playing field, if matches go at the same pace. So each quadrant could have all their matches on the same playing field. Think of how much easier scouting would then be! 1/4 the area to scout, 1/4 the fields to watch. I don't know about the veteran teams who went to the nationals this year, but for my rookie team, the sheer number of robots to scout out was overwhelming. One quarter of the total group would be a more than reasonable number to scout. They could even use the fifth court for inter-region matches. We should really approach FIRST with this idea...
