Re: Championships - Qualification Only Event?
Theoretically if every state had a championship you would end up with 300 teams with the current 6 qualifying from each state (assuming no overlap in qualifying awards). Team distribution means this isn't a great method anytime soon and there will need to be a way to handle international teams (Canada is 3 or 4 additional regions?) but when FIRST eventually gets their district system in place everywhere it still allows for a Championship event similar to the current one.
I would look at how FTC currently works to get an idea of how FRC qualifying may eventually be handled. Depending on the number of slots given to a state it's not enough to win your state championship, you have to be the alliance captain of the winning alliance to get the invitation.
How is FLL done?

At every event I've seen this year, there has been at least one robot that left a part on the field. Even some of the robots have decided they don't want to play and this year and made a break for it in autonomous! :yikes: - ctt956 [more]
