Re: Multiple submissions and Regional decisions.

I'd agree that a team with more presentations under their belt is more likely to win at Championships. They'll have a better idea of what works to persuade judges, as well as just being more comfortable in the presentation room.

On a similar note, I think this is going to make the competition at Champs a lot stronger. There are too many examples to count of "better" teams getting beaten at regionals by different teams that struck a chord with the judges, and with the old system that would have meant that the "better" team was done for the year. With the new system, they'll have another event or 2 to win at, meaning that fewer deserving teams will miss out on a trip to Champs.
