: As we get closer to the competition and all the decisions that the powers to be at FIRST make I again bring up this much debated idea!

: 1. Divide up the nationals into mini-competitions say in five or six groups. Play Down to top 4 teams. Then play these against each other on main stage Saturday.

**Is the problem that the wrong team's are winning? I hope not. I was disappointed with the poor attendance at last year's finals. Maybe by having groups, teams that lose their division will still support their group through the finals.

: 2. Select each group using a - random ping-pong ball machine like the lottery.

**I love the ping-pong ball idea. Maybe then, the divisions could be considered 'random'. I'd like to see a ping-pong machine at each field. When you show up, you drop your ball in the machine. The ball hops around until it lands on a color(red/blue) and position(inside/outside). You can't cheat Chaos.

: Wouldn't that be exciting waiting to see which group you were in and who was with you.

: What do you think? Let your voices be heard!
