Odd/Even
Since we all agree that part of the excitement about the Championship event is the competion, and part is the networking and collaboration between teams, why not offer a solution like this?
Do not base the even/odd stipulation on team numbers, but rather, hold a lottery during the spring for the following year. (That way teams have lots of time to plan AND you will not always be competing at Championships with the same odd- or -even-numbered teams).
During the Odd years, teams who received an odd number during the lottery can qualify to attend the Championship event where they will compete against other teams who received Odd numbers. During that same year, Even teams can qualify to attend a "conference" with other Even teams where they can attend workshops, demonstrations and network (party) with other teams.
This way, each year a team will have an opportunity to either qualify for the Conference or the Championships.
