Hey Andy-

I think the best way to split up the nationals would be a random seperation of teams... ok.. well not completely random... basically, take the teams that finished in the top 10% at regionals and split them into one of the 4 'regions'.. then the teams that finished in the 11-30% and split them into the 4.. 30-50, and then 50 and under... that way, the teams that finished high wouldn't all end up in one region.. which would make it virtually impossible to for some of the lower teams to have a chance, and also much of the power would come from one region (would make for a slightly lopsided elimination tournament)... another option to further 'spread out' would be that rookies would also be evenly distributed regardless of their finishing spot at a regional...

from that point.. i'd say play qualifying as usual... top 4 alliances come from each region.. (i would also be in favor of a possible 'top 8' from each regional.. and then they play it down between themselves to get it to 4 that move on.. that way, it's not necessarily finishers in places 1-4 that make it...).. these 16 alliances would randomly play each other in the same fashion as FIRST does it now.. that way, in the end.. 2 alliances from the same region could end up playing each other.. but heck, that's just the way life goes...
