Go to Post FRC competitions are fun, people. If you honestly need a video game system to keep you interested, you're ignoring a tremendous experience. - Mr. Pockets [more]

Re: Proposal for the 2 Championship format

Or would you be completely and thoroughly "annoyed" (to put it mildly--there are other terms that could be put in the quotes and be more accurate)? Annoyance and inspiration don't usually go hand-in-hand, mind you. Matter of fact, I would probably suspect a host of rather annoyed folks not bothering to stick around for future years, or writing nasty letters, or writing nasty internet posts. You get the picture.


I disagree on the whole premise of erratic performance seeing the demise of a team. I've got a number of counter-examples that I can think of fairly quickly of erratic or semi-erratic performance that have been doing this for a long time--some of them longer than your team.


And for the Super Regional model... What I see (obviously, this would be in about 5-6 years) is that the District Championships will disappear, being replaced by Super Regionals. Two Championships become one, held in some city to be determined (BTW, you should be including Indianapolis in your list). It's possible that the DCMPs move back a week, compressing the competition season, but I regard that as unlikely.
But thats not how it works. If you win multiple events in one year, the previous year has no bearing.

If 2015 was the base for Premier/Challenger Divisions in FIRST, and Team A won 2 events while Team B was dead last at 2 events, Team A would go to Premier and Team B would go to Challenger.

But, if in 2016 Team A was dead last at both events, and Team B won both events, 2015 would have no bearing on 2017. Based upon 2016, Team A would be in Challenger and Team B would be in Premier.
