Carl hates competing before March, so this will never happen.

This is unfortunately a fact. He is winning under the current formula, so any change means he's going to veto it.

I am pro the side of making the team championship decided by a dual tournament.

One person doesn’t/shouldn’t have ultimate authority over it.

They've done the argument a million times on FRL. I always agreed with JD and Ben that a dual format would be more accurate in representing how good a team is than a tournament format. 

Take CSB with Ferrari this year. IF Ferrari were to win, that's a guarantee of 20 points, and he might be their only NQ.

Take a fictional team that takes 10 guys to NCAAs and they all lose in the R12. Without any bonus, this team would score between 15-20 points depending on how the wrestler got there.

Which team is better?

The current tournament system is weighted too heavily in favor of champions and high AAs versus low-AAs and R12 guys. There is no way that a single individual should be able to outscore an entire roster of R12 guys. 

Last year Franek took 8th and scored 5.5 points for Iowa. Vito took first and scored 24 points. 1 champ outscoring 4 AAs just doesn't represent an accurate picture of how good teams are.
