Re: Frank Answers Fridays - Expanded Championship

Proposal on Championship qualification, given an extra 200 slots to fill:

HOF and Legacy teams, previous year's champions, previous year's EI and RAS all prequalify. (30 teams)

Districts get an expanded number based on percentage (as-is now, no need to tweak formula). Probably about 150-200 total teams.

Each regional gets 6 teams in addition to prequalifiers. To do this, the Wild Card is tweaked as follows:
--ANY prequalification, at any event by the winner of a qualifying award results in a WC slot becoming available. (Win the event and win RCA, one wild card team goes to CMP.)
--WC slots are awarded first to the Finalist alliance by order of selection, then to Rookie Inspiration and Highest Rookie Seed. Any remainder after that become Wait List slots.
Result is 300 teams attending, give or take a dozen.

Wait list teams are given points during the season, based on finish, awards, and time since last Championship appearance (this last being something like 10 points+1 point/year>4 years). Roughly 100 teams get in via waitlist this way, decreasing as more districts take slots (but those slots also give more teams chances to go).
