As many of you know, the time taken for elimination rounds is not that long. They almost seem like they are too short. My feelings are that if you add an additional round, you double the teams in the finals, and more teams will feel like they have accomplished something. It is very disheartening to work for three days and not get picked, and in the current form, only 10 out of 80 teams will go into the finals in Florida. It seems obvious that added opportunity is a good thing, and FIRST should increase the teams in the finals. Anything less would be doing a huge injustice to the teams that work so hard and travel so far to be at Nationals.
