So maybe there will be an award problem, but what about the other aspect of having division: the competition itself?

It seems to me from last year's competition that the top seeded teams from the qualifying rounds are not necessary the best robot that survived tough competition. That's because the matches are put together base on your ranking in the regional. So, what happened was high ranking teams in the regionals got paired with lower scoring teams, which mean those high ranking team will have to score for both sides in a game because the final score is 3X enemy score. Meanwhile, the medium ranking teams are all together, and both sides can score similar high points in a game, which brings the winning team up to a pretty high final score position.

SO, with the division in place, there will be lesser teams in each division's qualifing rounds, but in total, there will be much more teams going into the elimination rounds in a general sense. And those teams will face a tournament which determinds if they get to the FINAL Elimination rounds. What this means is IN THE NATIONAL, IT WILL NOT BE ONLY THE QUALIFING ROUNDS TO DETERMIND THE TOP TEAMS GOING INTO THE FINALS, BUT A QUALIFING ROUND FOR EVERY TEAM AND ELIMINATION ROUNDS FOR THE 'UPPER DIVISION TEAMS'. SO THE ROBOTS CAN ONLY SURVIVE IF IT WILL GET A HIGH AVERAGE SCORE FROM THE QUALIFING ROUNDS, OR PROMOTE ITSELF ENOUGH WITHIN THE DIVISION TO GET PICKED, AS WELL AS ABLE TO PUSH THROUGH THE TOUGH CHALLENGES IN THE ELIMINATION ROUNDS, AND FINALLY GET INTO THE FINALS AND BE A TOP WINNER. THIS WILL BE A GREATER CHALLENGE FOR THE REALLY GREAT TEAMS OUT THERE.


This, to me, solve the problem of having too many teams in the National Competition, while we don't have to block any lower ranking teams of the regionals from entering the National.
