Sounds like a good idea :-). I understand there are a lot of ideas that was expressed already. Remember the Dave Lavery's thread of FIRST asking for suggestions?

I suggested this thread because I see some good ideas buried inside the main CE thread inside general forum, but they are either short ideas, or got overwhelmed by the main discussions.

How about a more defined challenge? Consider all the teams in FIRST, the logistical issues, and fairness as well as the spirit of the program, and develope a well developed plan for Championship event and its qualification. Keep in mind that you can start from stratch and work your way up, or develope a plan base on existing ideas. You can stretch your imagination as far as what you want to do with a Championship Event, or how you think a future version ought to look like when there are FIRST teams in every high school in the nation.

Then we can conclude the exercise by seeing which ones we like the best.

It will probably take a lot of time, and most people are really busy. but I just thought it wouldn't hurt to suggest this exercise.

I guess a while back I was thinking of asking for suggestions on how to make the new rules better, but that really belongs in Andy B's constructive criticism thread.

So somethings ideas to consider:

About the event itself:
What is the purpose of your Championship Event?
How big many teams would you allow to register?
Where is your CE located at? (In Disney World again? Atlanta? Hawaii? In Canada (international)? On Mars? ;-) )
When is your CE held? (April? June? or 2005? 2080?)
What sort of things can teams do beside going to the competition?
What are the top concerns you think the teams might have? (Security? Fun place to visit? Transportation? Cost?)
How many staff/volunteers will you need to run your CE?

About the qualification process:
How would teams qualify for the competition?
What values do you want to show with the qualification process?
Do you think the current scoring system/alliance system is good enough to show if a team is good enough to qualify for CE or not? (if now, how would you fix the qualification process to compensate?)

So, the challenge is kind of like "Build your own Championship Event".

I am not sure if it is asking too much, but I want to see where this takes us. Remember, DO NOT make a post until you thought out your plan and can actually convince yourself it's a good one.
