In FIRST at the Championships marketing, and scouting is all that evens the playing field. If not for these 2 then a lot of the best teams in the nation could potentially never get their chance.

If you expect it to be a championship its going to be tough, and adding more games may really not be the solution.
Maybe Im looking at this differently, but to me the point of adding more matches isn't to make it more fair for everyone else. It's to make sure the top 8 are as close to the best 8 robots in the division as possible.

For example, look at Archimedies in 2005. That division was absolutely loaded. Yet a bunch of powerhouse teams ended up seeded super low, and a bunch of weaker teams ended up seeding high, because there aren't enough matches to eliminate luck influencing the standings.

I think we should add more matches not to help teams that have bad luck and lose a match or two, but to push the ones that performed extremely well to the top, rather than have teams that had good partners and didnt play anyone tough end up above teams that dominated their competition, but got pitted against each other and lost a match.
