Jonathan,
The "only ten" comment is because both regionals have had huge numbers of rookies in the past few years. I think last year there were 26 rookie teams in MN, 13 were at 10K (one team was from TN) and 15 at North Star (one team was from WI and another from IL). In 2009, is was 19 at 10K and 18 at North Star.
There are eight at North Star and ten at 10k (according to my count). There were nine at Lake Superior. As far as I can tell, there are no overlapping teams.
