[quote=Anonymous]It already has been expanded. Back in the day, each school could only enter 4 kids. By your logic, NCAA now needs to expand to a +first8, then a +first12, and so on until basically everyone is in. 12 is the number Mathcounts decided on to ensure that the tippy top kids from a school will get a school slot, even on a bad day, but that the total number of kids participating at each chapter is still logistically reasonable. Keep in mind that there are space constraints for seating everyone as well as logistical constraints for proctoring, grading, etc. It's not an unreasonable number. If a bad day was the thing that prevented Bobby13 from being able to participate, he wouldn't have made it to state even on a good day. Excluding him is really not a big deal. There are plenty of open enrollment math competitions, and he has no shortage of opportunities to do competitive math. [/quote]
