'Championship' alludes to finding the best at something.

If this is not what we are doing then lets call it 'FIRST Robotics World Exposition' or such.

Whether it's the NFL, Robotics, or a spelling bee the goal of a championship is to crown a champion (I.E. the best at the competition). But by not inviting the ALL of the best we skew any result.
