Second, I don't accept that the competition will be tougher on any stage in Atlanta save Einstein. I believe that the competition in Ypsilanti was head and shoulders above the divisions in Atlanta. I am not saying that there will be no great teams added to the mix in Atlanta but I AM saying that from top to bottom, the competition in Atlanta will not be as strong as what I just saw at MSC. It was a real showcase.

The why is a complex mix of the quality of the teachers, sponsors, mentors, the new district/state championship format, etc...

While I agree with your statement MSC is a deeper competition and therefore third picks while be better, I fully agree with your reason.

MSC had every team qualify in some way shape or form. They either were good enough to get picked and play in elimination matches and earned their points or won awards. Yes there were a couple teams that probably didn't deserve it as much as some teams that didn't go because they were carried by their alliance partners, even then they were good enough to be picked by a top seed, but (as a guess) most of those robots made it to at least the semifinals in one district. They earned their way.

Atlanta is not the same way. There is open registration for teams that have the money. MSC is actually more exclusive. While this is not the sole reason, I believe if 469 were going to be beat it would have happened at MSC.
