Championships: Competition vs. Inspiration

[JesseK]

Cory has a good point and can get his way* with just three mere words: I.R.I.

- No automatic HOF invitations
- No Original and Sustaining Invitations
- No invitations back just because a team did well last year

Make it an official FIRST event with no CA/EI/RAS (it practically is already...). Problem solved. IRI is so fun to watch, I bet we could even get ESPN, PBS, HBO, or some other network to broadcast it. And no snarking on PBS...

*Cory doesn't strike me as a guy who likes Unicorns or Rainbows, so I'm guessing he'd rather that Champs be purely a merit-based event...
