Sorry, Dave. I may have been too specific. I'll try better this time.

What things do you look for when deciding if the qualification process is a good or bad method for qualifying for the Championships (beyond "does my team get to go?" )?
Well, as long as the process recognizes all ways that a team can succeed, I'm satisfied. (i.e. success in the qual rounds, the elims, winning other awards, and previously winning a national Chairman's award)

I'd rather that is was. Young teams can get a complete FIRST experience from the Regionals and Super Regionals. We don't have to worry about that.

No. Like I said, the Regionals and Super Regionals provide teams with a complete FIRST experience. I can comfortably say this because last year was the my first time working with a team who didn't attend a Championship. The kids on that team were (and still are) just as inspired as any other group I've worked with in the past.

No, it should have no biased against or in favor of rookie teams.

Current year only.

Funny, but I'd prefer simpler criteria! =-]

Yup! Thanks. ;-]

And I hope my thoughts and ideas have been clarified as well.

One last thing: is there any chance of getting a sneak peak at the alternatives that have been identified?
