But I suppose it would be awkward to not "opt-in" when many other strong teams have?

Maybe we would have to "opt-in", because the "opt-out" league would be completely boring.

However, I don't like the idea of dividing the FIRST family, more than Half-Champs already does.

Going into the Champions League wouldnt stop you from "pulling up" the Opt-Out teams.

This is sort of what I was thinking. Depending on how events/season schedule played out it might even improve the ability. Possibly allow for a team to mentor multiple teams with more time during a different competition season.

I don't support this move but if it happened we would probably opt-in.

Through other avenues, sure.

I was referring to the competition.

If we aren't competing with them at competition, we can't pull them up.

I can't take more vacation days to help out team at competitions I'm not already attending.

But I can help teams at events my group is already attending.

How would you recommend pulling teams up otherwise?

Well I would assume competitions would become smaller, which I thought would mean Champions and "Lower" Leagues would compete at the same event.
