Re: Qualifying for CMP in the future

I can see a few ways to handle it:

Going to a district system (at least, doing so the same way that FiM did) won't fix the problem that 80% of the seats at CMP are spoken for before the season even starts, but it might slow the problem down some. I have already said I'm a huge proponent for moving to a district system in Canada for sure. (Canadian teams all hail from within a few hours drive of Toronto (outliers being 1535 from Sault Ste Marie, 1305 from North Bay, and the handful for Quebec teams started in the last couple years + 296), with the exception of 1482 who come from Calgary, AB). Theres a high enough concentration of teams to hold 4 districts (Niagara, Toronto, Waterloo, and Quebec, with a Canadian Championship replacing GTR)

Ultimately though, I think the easiest solution is to give the championship event MORE fields. Go to an 8 division setup, with Einstein running a full bracket instead of only Semis and Finals.
