Thumbs up

I'm in favor of limiting the Nats. It's getting pretty crowded from what I have heard of past ones.
If you limit it to the top seeds, where would you draw the line? If you limit it to just the top 8 (like the regionals and Nats) you would only have a max of 104 (13 regionals) teams. That doesn't take into account that some teams may do well at more than one regional.
What do you mean by "super-regional"?
If you limit it to first-come first-served, the teams that have a hard time raising money wouldn't be able to go.
What if you say that only the top 2/3 (or 3/4, or 1/2 etc...) at the regionals, would be allowed to go to the Nationals?
