: Such a good idea. In fact, the national is so crowded that I have to say this kind of dividing the teams is necessary. So each mini-competition will be like a seperate regional, and the teams in those regionals will be randomize.
I know I've said this before, but I'm not exactly fond of the idea of 'regionalizing' nationals...for me, as well as a few other people that I've talked to, one of the draws of nationals is the size, and doing anything to diminish that would decrease the excitement. Yes, I realize that it can be chaotic at times, but that's what I would look at as a logistics issue, which should be able to be handled without, in essence, splitting the majority of the event into several smaller events and scattering it around the parking lot(or around Disney.)

: So teams don't need to promote themself to all the 300/400 teams out there, but only teams within the regionals itself. Good. The number of matches will still be the same, while the competition is much more organized. And there will be 4 top-seed award and other awards just the same as a regional... etc.

'just the same as a regional'...personally, I hope it never gets to the point where we can describe any part of nationals this way...one of the awesome things about getting an award at nationals is being able to say that out of 270+ teams, YOUR team was the one that brought home the trophy. If the awards were given to each 'division' in a regionalized nationals, it would greatly diminish the grandeur of recieving a trophy from the national competition...

Like I said above, I realize that nationals last year was chaotic with the setup and the number of teams, but I am nearly positive that there are ways this can be alleviated without seeing 'divisions', 'regions', or whatever else you want to call them set up. As I've said before, the next logical step after doing that at nationals is making the 'real' regionals qualifiers for nationals, which I sincerely hope does not happen for years to come....

Of course, this is just my opinion....

Nate
