Question maybe a better question is...

Ah... Getting to the interesting part.

By looking at the qualification process, and thinking about changes that might happen in the future, some people are starting to think about the whole meaning of having a Championship event, and how it will work with the future of FIRST.

Maybe a better question to consider is, What should a Championship event mean in the future?

Is it going to be THE event that determine the best robot/alliance of the country or even the world? Or should it just be an event where you can meet as many teams from all over the world as possible? Maybe it should be just be a good social gathering event for teams to go to?


Mean while, I am interested in finding out what kind of qualification process are out there, let it be sports or other competition. I know for the World Cup of soccer (well, its really football in all country except US, but oh well), teams compete with other teams in their area, like in Africa, North America, Asia, South America, etc, and only limited teams can compete in the World Cup. Maybe that's a good way to do it? Have different section of the country have divisional competition, and then only number of teams can go to the Championship event after that...?

Well, anyway, on with the question... For those of you paying attention to this thread, and are interested in replying... Please consider these few things:

What do we want out of the Championship event?
What were the good values in past years' Championship event?
How do we incorporate the Championship event into the future FIRST?
How can FIRST make everyone happy, while keeping the event realistic?


Please, do reply if you have some thoughts about this.
