Qualifying for CMP in the future

[Peter Matteson]

I'm for the Michigan style system because of what happened with my team this year.

For those that don't know know we seeded 2nd at both regionals we went to and ended up as finalists while picking up the GM Inductrial design award at both events and a WFFA at the WPI regional.

If we had not been pre-qualified as defending champions we would not have been able to get in off the waitlist/open registration. I'm sure other teams with similar seasons were unable to attend and that is a travesty.

I'm also surprised how no one has brought up the fact that there are around 20 "sustaining" teams with atomatic bids to the championship every year. This is another batch of teams that should have to earn their way in at this point.
