This. I feel like people are forgetting that just because we carry 30 tickets to championships doesn't mean that we send 30 teams. Between double-qualifying teams (at Boston 126 both won the competition and got chairmans, plus they are an original and sustaining team) and our friends from NY, its not very likely that we would consistently send 30 teams (not including prequalifiers, because they don't take up any of our slots).

Anyways, even if this wasn't the case and we really were sending less teams every year, I would still rather send 25 of very best teams than 15 of what are mostly the best teams and 15 teams that just lucked out.
