I agree that Ontario sends more then our fair share of teams to Champs, *but* the calibre of teams we send is already pretty high IMHO. Of the 29 Ontario teams that made it to champs this year, 13 went on to division eliminations - almost 45%. (several more won other awards). For comparison, only 32% on average (32/100) of all teams at champs make it to elims. I know: Lies, D. Lies and Statistics, but at least we're pulling our weight
