Maybe if there was a way to keep these teams interested in the event (im not saying that there are not a lot of teams who leave) they will support a team that is still competing and stay roboticly active if there is a side event.

Back in Vex FTC, the event I went to had at least 6 qualifiers, 7 the second year. Maybe that was a change with Tetrix, but 6 qualifiers and then a few hours of elims was always exciting for me...
