Yes. All three of those teams are from Ontario, which is in the Eastern half of Canada.

Re: Split Champs assignment

"However, to maintain balance between the two events, not every team who asks may be able to move to their “non-home” Championship. Specifically, FIRST may limit the quantity of teams allowed to change from one event to the other for various reasons."

I am willing to bet that the terms "balance" and "various reasons" will effectively bar e.g. 1114, 2056, 33, 67 from opting to go south in the same year (or 254, 1678, 118, 148) regardless of when each team initiates the opt out mechanism. Subjective granting of opt out requests will rule....

Was hoping for much better.

The problem I see with a potential #1champs in 2021 is will FIRST ever take back any of the 800 world championship spots? Could a venue hold an 800 team championship? To have a single championship I think 600 is the top end.

Going 4 years with 2 champs is going to leave a generation of FRC with the expectation of 800 teams going to 2 champs. The current generation plus the veteran mentors are not happy now - but what happens in 2021 when it doesn't combine into one championship? Will anyone expect the "old timers" care?

If we get our wish, it will be down to at most 6 teams unfortunately.

Or, hypothetically, you could save your energy (and money) and skip the official half-championship in favor of an IRI-on-steroids type de-facto World Championship.

Hypothetically.

Re: Split Champs assignment

I find it interesting that each ChampionSplit will have 400 FRC teams (as opposed to this year's 600) but the full current amount of other program teams (60 FllJr, 108 FLL, and 128 FTC). FIRST wasn't kidding or exaggerating this time when they said they were going to expand the other programs too.

Re: Split Champs assignment

I would have thought there would have been a time element to this, ie, if you won a week 6 regional or a district championship on week 7, how do you logically get a robot and team to Houston in like 4 days?

Unless we get into IRI who I think have a tougher selection process starting next year

Also how will district slots be allocated, by 400 or 800?

Michael might be on to something here.

What if, Circa 2025, we have North-west, North-East, South-West, and South-East Championships, and the winners of each all converge on STL to play on the Dean Kamen Field for the mega championship?

Re: Split Champs assignment

Well, it was really nice when I went to CMP in 2012 to seem 16, 79, 100, 115, 118, 148, 179, 180, 192, 233, 254, 330, 359, 842, 971, 973, 987, 1323, 1538, 1540, 1671, 1678, 1912, 1983, 3476, and many others. Maybe in a few years I might get to share an event with y'all again.
