"Well-constructed" alliance is a funny way of saying "3 of the 4 best robots in MAR that year"

Regional Perspective
My proposed solution, while it is not perfect, is to award wildcards based on District Points earned at the event, not finalist alliance position. The District Points system encompasses all facets of the competition: qualification matches, alliance selection, playoff results, and awards. FIRST trusts this system to recognize achievement in districts. Why won't they at regionals?
