If anything, Michigan has to
few slots for Championship. They currently have
275 teams signed up. With 32 slots that's 11.6% going to Championships. Compared to other regions, this percentage is low. EDIT: Three teams signed up in the twenty minutes since I posted this. 278 in Michigan now.
New England has 24 slots for
161 teams. That's 14.9%.
MAR has 18 slots for
108 teams. That's 16.7%.
Texas has
111 teams and four regionals, for 24 slots. That's 21.6%.
Ontario has
113 teams and 5 regionals, for 30 slots. That's
26.5%!
In fact, qualifying for the MI State Championship is harder than qualifying for the World Championship in Ontario. Only 23.3% of Michagan teams qualify for their State Championship. I think it's fair to say that the size of MSC could be increased without diluting the talent at the event.
These numbers could change slightly as more rookies register, but they'll still show that it's tougher to qualify for the World Championship in Michigan than elsewhere.
