Well, I'm not going to get into this much, but I do have one suggestion. If Odd/Even is going away, then perhaps the points required to qualify for the Championship (based on previous performance) should be lowered. Perhaps it could be adjusted so that any team who won a major award or was a finalist/winner of a given event (regional or Champ. Division) would get enough points to qualify, and any team with a few smaller awards would as well. For example, a partial point scale:

Regional/Championship Division Winner/Finalist: 5 points
Regional Chairman's: 5 points
"Major" awards (i.e. the ones that currently get an automatic bid): 5 points
"Minor" awards: 3 points
Championship/Division Semifinalist: 2 points

With 5 points required, this would give most teams that performed well a shot. I'm not saying this is a perfect scale. In fact, I know it's flawed in a couple of ways. However, it would give a fairly large and diverse number of teams a chance at the Championship, while removing Odd/Even.
