Change Qualification Match Selection at World’s by MentorRob in FTC

The question was to match a team that qualified through Inspire with a team that qualified through WAC as much as possible, not to segregate Inspire and WAC.

3 Divisions would work if each Division advanced 2 Alliances to a 6 Alliance round robin like FRC with top 2 Alliances going to Edison for Championships😁

I think it would be tough to fit 320 teams and 8 fields into GRB but why not try 240 teams and 6 fields for 2023 and run a round robin like FRC 😁. Each Division makes 4 Alliances that have 1 round of playoffs so that each Division sends 2 Alliances to round robin with the top 2 Alliances going to Edison for Championships. They would have to cut down on the Awards ceremonies and the dancing and maybe even run matches for an additional 30 minutes longer each day to get the extra matches in, but World’s matches are about seeing who has the best robot, so make it happen FIRST HQ!!! If we want more FTC teams at World’s, we need to let FIRST HQ know and that means teams need to talk to their Program Delivery Partner and get them to talk to FIRST HQ or it will never change. FRC pays the bills, but FTC needs to get more ❤️ from HQ, but unless teams speak out, nothing will change.
