Go to Post Engineering fundamentally comes down to problem solving, and if the students can't get excited and inspired by the problem solving process because someone has spoon fed them a solution, then nobody wins. Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime. - kevinw [more]

In FRC, you've got the current season's up to Championship and the previous Championship--sounds a bit off, no? Gary nailed it. Scandall got where I think this is going, long-term--the super-regional model isn't dead, just dormant for another 5 years.
Promotion/relegation is about consistency year to year. It's also about one of the most important lessons that you can teach a teenager--patience and persistence. Year to year consistency is more likely to lead to sustainability. Erratic team performance is more likely to see the demise of that team. We need to encourage consistency while teaching patience and persistence.

As for moving to Super Regionals, I have no idea of how FIRST's proposed model moves that way if there is no single championship. Instead I see a proliferation of regional championships that starts looking like pre 1998 NCAA football.
