He wanted to raise the level of competition, which doesn't do much for the winners or finalists. The challenge was a little hard to attempt in qualifications, and a little hard to predict before seeing any matches. Like I said, it worked better last year (all 6 teams hanging, happened 3 times).

You bring up a good point. I really think there was no malice intended by this challenge. That's why I think it's sad this thread has gotten so vitriolic and nasty. The poor guy wasn't actively attempting to ruin the FRC game, I bet he just thought he would help out some teams with extra sponsorship and raise the level of competition at the same time.
