It would have to be. If it goes to the model Adam has in the flowchart, there are four levels of competition. There would have to be many more weeks in the schedule for FIRST competitions. Assuming that the teams will go to at least 2 district events, that will be 6 competitions in one season for a team that would make it to champs.

Big problem with this: Each competition will be about half a week for kids that are in school, and the kids would have to take off the equivalent of around 3 weeks of school time that most could not afford to miss. While larger teams can send a contingent to different events, smaller teams or teams that don't train more than one drive team may see a major drop in grades or participation from the events.

EDIT: I know I had a problem this year with keeping up with school work and going to the 3 competitions that our team participated in this year.
