I think this is how the problem will be resolved, eventually.
When FIRST has completed its transition to a three-tier (District >> Regional >> Super-Regional >> Championship) qualifying model, we will probably have about ten thousand teams competing in 500 districts, each with a field of about 40 teams -- this assumes each team competes at its own 'home' district event and travels to another. At events for which teams must qualify based on performance at the district level, the number of teams will be larger, and the inspection process should be less time-consuming.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
