They could improve by not changing the rules after 'coopertition' has actually begun.

I guess I wasn't clear before.

Some other ideas:

Call the week 1 regionals 'beta' so people know that that's what they're buying into and don't make them 'count.'

Discount teams a N>1 regional if they are doing an N=1.

Run a test regional early with 'real scoring' to find bugs. Some areas have enough density of teams for this to be reasonable.

Have FIRST build some robots and play with them with 'real scoring' in the 9-months that they have to design the game.

Live with the rules they came up with even if they suck.
