@Knowcheering your entire "sense of fairness" seems to be centered around whether nor not the same amount of teams get to day 2. Using the 70 teams that are in both these divisions (I know I am rounding) 35 teams would be done after one performance and not make it to day 2.
This way, 25 are done after prelims which means 10 more teams than the old system get to perform twice and fight for the chance to make finals. I think the 10 more teams that will get to compete twice will love this system.
It also provides for more manageable division sizes in each of the Prelims, Semi-finals, and Finals competitions for the judges to fairly score. I think that most of us will take any system that will provide more even scoring across the board.
I hope you can open your mind to this and see there are no perfect solutions. This one seems to me to be a pretty good one.
I love reading everyone's opinion and I'm wondering for those who like this idea, Do you think it should happen in all divisions? Have the at-large teams have prelims, then go to semis regardless of how many are in the div? Would this help Int Coed and the issues of how many go to finals. It sounds good to me, but you guys know more about the implications than I. Is there an easy way to make a mock schedule to see how this would change things?
Again it seems that your main point is to have more divisions in the finals.
It looks to me like this method allows more teams to compete twice, more manageable numbers of teams for the judging panels than last year, and a fair system of arriving at a more elite group of teams in the in the finals.
I respect why you are arguing your point, but I personally agree with what they came up with. I think we should see how it goes and then provide inputs to improve the process further if there are any.
