Re: [FRC Blog] Frank Answers Friday: Championship Slots

Using 2015 figures, and assuming them to remain constant for this discussion, Michigan (not picking on MI, just the easiest to make the point) teams comprised 11.86% of registered FRC teams which corresponds to roughly 71 slots for St. Louis. The same should hold true for 2016. However, beginning in 2017, Michigan's 345 teams will represent either 11.86% of the overall FRC teams or 23.73% of the corresponding Championsplit pool. Given that both Championsplit venues will host 400 FRC teams, will Michigan teams comprise 47 slots or 95? Clearly, something has to change with respect to the awarding of Championship slots on a proportional basis to district participants.
To stay proportional, it's either 11% of 800, or 22% of 400, because MI teams would theoretically make up 22% of the smaller population attending their Championship event. They equal the same number.
