I believe that the folks at FIRST are attempting to do the best they can with the situation that is before them.

Faced with the almost overwhelming growth of the robotics competition coupled with the tremendous logistics of running an operation of this magnitude they need to enforce limitations somewhere and I believe this is just the beginning.

Hey, let's be realistic 3 regionals for one team is A LOT of time, travel and $$$. Team members missing school/work and everything else associated with attending any event is something that must be considered. I don't think that 3 is a bad number at all.

I would much rather there be some sort of reasonable limt such as this rather than see a team get "shut out" of even attending just one event.

Eventually we will find some sort of compromise for the Nationals situation. As has been mentioned somewhere here before the idea of an East Coast/West Coast championship with the semi-finalists, finalists and various award winners moving on to the Nationals may be a viable option. Who knows for sure.....

Two things are for sure:

It takes time for things to evolve and not everyone is going to be happy with the results.
