Re: ChampionSplit: A Historical Perspective
I was very against the two championships at first. But I'm more okay with it now. We are always talking about how we'd like to see FIRST in every high school. So looking at just FRC now, there are, say 3,000(?) teams. What happens when we have 10,000 teams or more? FIRST wants 20% of teams to experience w big championship event. Out venue capacity is maxed out, there are no venues that can hold our traditional model anymore. Atlanta's starium being torn down and St Louis' in jeopardy.
I'm sorry but having only 0.5% of teams being able to experience the championship isn't very inspiring to me. I couldn't care less about having "one real champion." I want to change peoples' lives.
