I feel like FIRST is handling it correct for now, and needs to investigate this deeply, and as for the champions, I like the idea of keeping the current Champions, but having all other Einstein teams be given a bid to the 2013 Championship.

I agree. If I were the IRI committee, I wouldn't want to put the 2012 World Championships in an awkward position. All four alliances had the potential to win, and even with no field issues, some luck going one way or another would have produced a different world champion.
