Comparatively, is one of the goals of the district system to promote the event winners to higher levels, or is the goal to promote the best teams to higher levels? I don't know for sure, but I'd argue the latter. And sometimes event winners and the best teams are not always one in the same. So I wouldn't say anyone is being cheated out of anything. I would think that winning a single event shouldn't mean you're entitled to play at a higher level of play.
Being invited to the world championship shows that you've achieved what FIRST intends to celebrate. Would FIRST celebrate winning more than celebrating effective execution? I don't know the answer, but it's something to consider.
FIRST is kind of like charity work... you are, even if only in some small way, helping our future just a little bit, and you get a great feeling from it. Even if you are just ringing a bell (or clapping MOE sticks together), you're helping. - Amanda Morrison [more]
