That would be very very cool. What if, tonight, at 9:00pm, we all would gather to watch a webcast with Dean and Woodie describing each of the divisions. Better yet, we could have key people from around the country Skype-ing in with their assessment for each grouping. Looking Forward could chime in, wearing a ski mask. The amazing CarNack could even give his input. I would be willing to help make this work next year.

I think that 3 things would be needed to do this:
1. some broadcasting method (NASA, etc.) maybe multiple methods from various locations (dedicated website, etc.)
2. a committee to organize this
3. cooperation from FIRST (they give the committee the division teams, and then wait to publish after the selection show is done)
4. some minimal sponsorship

I would pony up some effort to help make this happen.
