I think we have another legitamate problem with this years competition. As the size of FIRST grows, the number of teams who qualify for the finals should grow as well. It is very dishearting year after to year to not make the finals. Now we are down to 40, instead of 48. How difficult would it have been for the top 4 from each region to qualify for the finals as their own alliance, then we have 80 teams in the finals. Which is probably closer to somewhere around 1 in 5 teams. That seems to me to be a fair ratio of teams to make the finals. The qualify of competition would not diminish any by going to that number of teams. It would require more matches, but who cares! Matches are the reason for the competition, the more the better.
