the other was 4361 who was ranked 10th and this was their 3rd event

Out of the NY (non-district teams)
rank #2 - 4122 (4th event) Attended 2 regionals and champs off waitlist
rank #3 3419 (4th event) Attended 2 regionals and champs
rank #4 2869 (2nd event) Attended 1`regional
rank #5 335 (2nd event) Attended 1 regional
rank #6 5943 (2nd event) Attended 1 regional
rank #7 371 (2nd event) Attended 1 regional
rank #8 1880 (3rd event) Attended 2 regionals
rank #9 333 (4th event) Attended 2 regionals and champs off waitlist
rank #11 4528 (2nd event) Attended 1 regional
rank #12 5123 (2nd event) Attended 1 regional
rank #13 369 (2nd event) Attended 1 regional

It also should be mentioned 4122 and 333 ended up winning the event with both teams having this as their 4th event

So, aside from a few anomaly's it is pretty clear events make teams better

and lets look at some numbers
4055 paid $10,000 for their 4 official events
4122, 3419, and 333 paid $13,000 for their 3 official events If those teams wanted an extra event before champs they would be paying $17,000 for the same amount of events that 4055 got for 10k.

I do not care how quality the event is $7,000 extra is not worth it.

Sperkowsky,
Thank you for doing all the math and research I didn't have time to do. Your final comment was basically what we heard from most teams while at the event.
