: 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.

: **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.

Exactly the right reason to have division in the nation. With division in place, the will gather the teams within a division as they face common enemy (the other 3 division). This will generate pride and spirit as the competition heats up and the division go head-to-head to other division. Also, last year it was a big problem to show yourself to every team in the National, and it will be much easier to show yourself in a division, and build up a stronger relationship with other same-division team. Finally, if the divisions are 'random', every years there will be a different combination of teams in there, and as the years go every team will be able to communicate with every team out there, instead of the same groups of 'buddies' out there while new teams are left alone.
