i have a slightly different view, the good (or above average) teams seem to be the ones who do multiple regional, if you take all those teams out your left with a few above average teams, some average and some below average. making it easier to get those points for an average or below average team. It makes it really easy for a slightly above average team to steal the show (look at unh). On the other hand if the powerhouses get together in a district that counts they hurt each other (look at Groton). Having those teams around at our second events makes t fair for the teams that had to compete against them at there districts. otherwise we would have an easier time. Personally i don't think were going to see another groton style event until week 4 next year and it will be full of 3rd event teams. too many good teams got burnt point wise to want to do that again. We want to do a week 1 or 2 new Hampshire event, WPI (our home event) then a stacked event. we'll get our points and then go as hard as possible in preparation for the district championship.
