When some team wins in Weeks 1 and 6, the runner up Week 1 should have just as much of a shot as the runner up when the wildcard slot is actually generated in Week 6. Only one of them can get it, but it shouldn't be based on when they competed. It should be based on something that matters.

One item I haven't seen discussed here (which is understandable, as there's only a few of us still around) is legacy teams.

This season, we qualified for the Championship in three ways. We won TVR, FLR, but we also had pre-qualified and pre-registered as a legacy team along with the HoF teams.

One way that comes to help give out more wildcards during Week 1 and earlier events (as the probability for receiving a wildcard slot increases with each week) would be to generate wildcards for HoF teams and legacy teams, as some others have mentioned. While this wouldn't have generated any extra wild cards for 2014 Week 1 events, it would have generated a few Week 2 and 3.

However, I think that most of these issues will vanish as regionals give way to districts (whether or not the model makes sense for the area in question -- but that's a topic for another time) with proportional championship slots.
