Nationals, er, The Championship,(which I see not as a international inclusion attempt, but to make it sound a performance based event) is a very different feeling event then a regional event. There are a myriad of things contributing to this, but most are because of the greater size of the event. More teams overall mean more teams travel there, so you may see teams that you don't see often.
I see the Championship becoming more of a actual "Championship". If you call it that, make it that. That said, other 'super regionals' should grow to take the large event setting that the National->Championship evolution left behind. Like the Canadian Regional, one in Annapolis(or other East Coast location) and somewhere on the West Coast. This is a process to get there, but taking small steps to get there will adjust people slowly to the change and make it more agreeable. Keep that in mind as you tweak this years qualification settings.
I like to see all teams have the option to go, as often as possible.
I think that the Even/Odd for automatic qualification is a good idea, at least for now. (size dependent)
I don't think the 10 teams from '92 should get a automatic bid. (elitism)
