Re: Montana Area Regional?

An Idaho regional would be very convenient, but I just don't feel there's enough interest in the area to make it happen anytime soon. Salt Lake City has several teams very close by, and that regional isn't doing the greatest. I'd venture to say it was actually a good deal better last year, it's already going downhill from the feel of it this year.

edit: This post was way too harsh in retrospect, I apologize. I was mentally comparing it to well established, large regionals like Portland and Seattle. For year two, Utah is doing excellent. While it doesn't compare to the larger regionals in aspects due just to size, it has a certain atmosphere that distinguishes it, and there are a couple awesome teams I remember right off the top of my head. It has a very positive environment, and I definitely had a great time when I competed there last year
