Re: pic: Stronghold AMAA Live with Frank 6/21 8:30PM EST!

I'm a bit late to the party here, but I have a question:

Why not base wildcard distribution on a more holistic standard, e.g. district points, rather than simply finalist alliance position? District points are designed to be an all-encompassing measure of competitive success, so why use a simpler, less thorough method that ignores results that FIRST has deemed important (qualification rank, alliance selection, awards) in determining which teams have succeeded most at a district event?
