Thoughts?

North 1/2 CMP is the more impacted 1/2 CMP event. Madison posted last year that almost 1/2 of the entire FRC community is within driving distance of Detroit.

It makes sense that countries with a strong FRC presence are sent to South 1/2 CMP. There just isn't room at North 1/2 CMP. Europe, etc, are left at North 1/2 CMP just to give the event some international flair, with little substance. I would expect maybe 3 teams from outside the US/Canada at the 400 Team North 1/2 CMP. FIRST is trying to have their cake, cut it in half, and eat it too.

South 1/2 CMP will be much more well represented on an international level, percentage wise.
