I think you could be on to something here. HOWEVER, this could also be VERY BAD. If you separate the teams into divisions like high school sports things could get boring. What I mean is, can you imagine how boring the rookie division would be? No offense to the rookies because I was one this year, but they wouldn't have the heart or the cheering tht the older teams have. They wouldn't get the gracious proffessionalism the same way because there wouldn't be an example near them at all times. Also, the sheer magnitude that is FIRST would seriously decline. It would definately be less exciting in all the divisions. The older teams wouldn't ever get paired with the rookies thus never giving the rookies the chance to experience things like 700 point games, maybe not that high but you get the idea. This idea would solve the size and space problem but at what cost? Does what I'm saying make any sense to anyone or am I just typing to feel important?
