We all knew this day would come. Let's not let it spoil our FIRST experience.

After wading through 70-something posts here, I find it hard to believe that nobody has yet proposed increasing the size of championships.

Can you say "six fields"?

While we're possibly not ready for this now, at the current growth rate we should be there before the St Louis agreement runs out.

Maybe I am missing something here, but such a thing could satisfy both camps: Those who want merit/performance to play a greater role, and those who want to allow those "wild cards" to "buy" their way in to get the CMP experience. Win Win?

Surely there's a venue that can manage this.
