I think a company should only be allowed to have one Nationals. The other competitions can be called Regionals. No one takes the title of "National Champion" seriously unless it's from some of the big few. The whole situation is a joke.
I don't really have a problem with the number of competitions that there, just that they're all called nationals. I really don't believe that using that title is going to bring more people to your event.
And don't even get me started on US Finals. You have to get a bid to go (which is fine) but then there are like 10 of them and the winners at each are all National Champions? At least they compare the scores at the end and give overall winners, but jeez.
