Re: The Divisions...
Well, I quickly thought of two ways to organize such a thing:
1:
Organize geographical divisions, based solely on region. Based on the number of divisions, they would be distributed randomly between the four divisions at FWC, this way there would be some type of random aspect involved, but it wouldn't be entirely random.
2:
Organize divisions based on performance. Use an international points system to view the international rankings of qualifying teams, and then divide divisions up by ranking. Once this has been done, the teams from each division could be evenly distributed throughout the divisions at FWC. This way, you'd have an even mix of teams of every caliber throughout the entire competition, no one field would be "stacked," and the possibility of a close, if not necessarily even, match-up on Einstein would be improved.
The issues with that idea are that placing top ranked teams in every division would very possibly take away any chances for some certain teams to compete in the division, but even if there weren't top-ranked teams in every division, these less-powerful teams would simply be routed at Einstein anyways. It's the best system I could come up with.
