It seems to have played out in a way that Duluth teams had a significant advantage, with 22 of the 30 not counting CA from there. Not a single team from the Iowa regional... wow. I know there are more than a few who are deserving. My point still stands, things are never fair.

I really like Chief Hedgehog's suggestions, and I agree with CA winners qualifying automatically. Taking the last event or taking an average of 2 events, I don't think it matters, we can figure that part out. I do think something needs to be done.
