Seriously what message does dual championships send? Unless accompanied by a significant entry fee reduction?

Makes no sense to have two locations for < 600 teams or an expansion to 1000 unless entry fee driven.

If it walks like a duck....

The goal is to have two events of 400 teams each. (Similar sizes to the 2014 Championship)

What I read was to have two events of the 2014 size or two 400 team events.

Right. So who are we proposing is inflating their salary and pocketing all that extra money? Unless you think they're funneling the extra money into FTC, FLL, etc. In which case why the outage?

FLL and FTC subsidize FRC (and will for the foreseeable future). FIRST's financials tell us that much.
