It's just that because of the wildcard system more of our good 2nd tier teams got to compete at champs, you all got to see how good 1310, 1334, 4039 and others are too (we also got a bit of luck this year  ). It's incredible how well Canadians did this year, but then again I always knew that we have a great depth of teams from how strong our regionals are. |
Out of the top tier of Ontario teams, only 1310 benefited from a wild card. 1241 and 1334 both won EI's (with 1334 also winning the Western Canadian Regional), while 4039 got in from the waitlist, I believe.
