Maybe you don't get the POINT

Ok so what you are saying is some fifty teams should go to Nationals and compete with some other 238 (even number teams) that didn't come in based on talent. So how can you justify your statement by saying only the best of the best are you going to be at Nationals when you have 238 teams that got in first come first serve. That's why I think if a team is qualified and is in the playoffs they should let the spot pass down so another *talented* team can go to Nationals. This is my point on why I think teams that qualified should step down. What you are saying Dave, Mike, and Kyle is that the number 1 team will always win. Well no kidding. However, imagine if you will a National that involved alliances of all the best teams in the World that would be impressive. Without this rule I believe Nationals will become a slaughter for all the *(elite teams)* against the other teams that got in first come first serve. Now I know of course people still aren't going to agree with me so how about a compromise. If a team that wins a regional is already qualified for Florida still is the champion of that regional and gets those qualifying points for next year. However, the berth for that regional for this year's game goes to the next alliance in that regional. If all members of an alliance are not qualified that alliance takes that berth and the spot does not pass down. I sure hope that someone from FIRST is looking into this problem because I can see that this could be a huge complication for the future.
