Re: Why Give Open Bids to the Championship?
Due to the inspirational experience of participating in the Championship, I think the current system of having open slots as well as teams qualify based upon winning the regional, Chairman's Award, Engineering Inspiration, and Rookie All Star Award should not be changed. However, as the number of teams increases every year this system may not be sufficient due to the limited space at the championship. When the current system becomes insufficient I would like to see a points system used that is similar to what Michigan uses to qualify teams for the state championship for the Championship. This way a team that is competitive i.e. (#1 seed, regional finalist, wins a technical award) can still compete at the championship.
