There have been a few teams from WV represented both there and in St. Louis. The kids that went to the open were no less inspired and the event was no less exciting.

To clarify: 2nd place teams from FLL events are eligible for the U.S. Open. It is also open to those U.S. Tournaments who are not eligible to send their champions to the championship due to the lottery system.
I competed at the Open in LEGO Land in grade 8.

I agree with everything you said there. It felt exactly like a real tournament competition was strong, and the venue was awful.
