I don't think expanding this tournament to 12 slots is the way to go personally.
Last year the decision was made to increase the number of teams from 6 to 8, which in my opinion was the correct decision.
Some people claim that there are "better people to field" and that increasing the number of OU slots would solve this issue. This is not a sentiment I agree with. The 2 team expansion already allowed those who go under the radar the chance to get on a team. Looking at who went undrafted last year, I see no glaring omissions. I see a few players I believe were more deserving than some who were drafted, but that is a separate issue. Increasing the number of slots will simply worsen the quality of the tour which is a trade-off not worth considering.
I also don't agree with dropping any lower tiers from this tournament's format. OU has plenty of representation in BW throughout the year and the creation of BW WCOP is just another reason as to why we don't need more OU slots in this tournament. BW does not have an "Underground" tournament like ORAS does to give lower tiers a spotlight, and dropping them from a tournament that many lower tier players look forward to playing would be a mistake.
The only change I would consider making to the format at this time would be the addition of a BW OU Bo3 slot, replacing one of the 3 OU slots.
This change would be consistent with the other old gen premier leagues on this website, such as DPPPL and ADVPL both having OU Bo3 slots of their own. ROAPL's BW OU Bo3 slot was greatly appreciated by the player base, while the Bo3 slots in the previously mentioned old gen pls resulted in great, entertaining matchups.
This is the format I would recommend going with for this edition.

I would also like to see the budget increased from 120k to 140k to remain consistent with the other 10 slot old gen premier leagues such as DPPPL and ADVPL.
