Numbers seem tp be a factor. As time goes on more and more Chairmans and champions are getting free passes. I believe that we should only go back 4 years from a win for free passes. The whole team will have changed over in that time and they can now prove themselves. I also believe that 2nd year teams should also get a pass. Most rookie teams have a hard enough time in their 1st year. This allows time for learning about FIRST, gaining funding and learning about robot build.
I like the idea of picking a "Home" regional to qualify in. This allows better chances for all teams to qualify. Teams attending more than 1 event still have an advantage as they pick up a lot at each regional they attend. As with Chairmans I don't find a fault with that system.
All teams could be put in a lottery at the beginning of the season and a post will be made of those that can attend. Spots made available by winners qualifying at regionals and already having a spot, would be given to those on a posted waiting list. If a team wins a lottery spot and unable to attend then they would be given a spot the following year( only 1 year after).
Any team winning 2 lottery spots in a 4 year span will not be included in the next 2 lottery years.
I believe that this allows teams that win to compete, gives new teams a chance to attend (2nd year) and everyone else an even chance of attending.
