It would be nice if FIRST would find a way to make all the divisions evenly matched. Also a lot of teams work hard to earn their way to the championship event. I believe that it is not fair to these team to allow open bids to the same event. In my opinion this can lower the over quality of many of the matches and often leads to one sided alliances (1 good robot with little or no help against two or three good robots) in the qualifiers. If one team happens to get unlucky enough to have many of these match they are all but out of the running to get a seeded position no matter how good they are.
