[JB987]

If FIRST is really serious about saving them (and us) money, then why not open the door to all teams so they can decide what works best for them? The problem with a late reveal of who else gets to bag is that decisions will already have been made and it will be too late to take advantage of drive distance regionals. We have lots of options around here (hometown Las Vegas Regional 20 minutes from school as well as those in nearby states within a day's drive). If bagging really worked out as well as feedback suggests, in all fairness we should all be able to save shipping fees (which still puts the vast majority of teams hoping for economic parity with Michigan teams...)
