I know there would be out cry that people won't be able to experience the Championship event, but look at how many people experience the super bowl? We're at a point where championships can't be as all inclusive "everybody come on in and gather round" as it used to be, you play to win, and if you don't make it, you watch it on TV and use it as drive for the next season.
I agree with your points about expansion, but I disagree about your point about the championships not being as inclusive. FIRST world champs is more than a competition, it's an inspiring event meant to change the world. If we send less teams to this inspiring event, how are we changing the world in a more positive way?
