Proposal for Wildcard Reform
With new Wildcard rule that each regional will get one additional Wildcard, I figured now would be a good time to share a proposal I've been working on for a little while regarding how Wildcards are awarded.
In brief, the process of distributing Wildcards can be improved by awarding them based on a District Points ranking, which encompasses all parts of the competition (qualification rank, alliance selection, playoffs, and awards). This not only does a better job of recognizing successful teams but also eliminates the possibility for Wildcards to be wasted, which occurs with the current when there are more Wildcards than finalists who can receive them.
