Many of the teams selected before them could be very easily justified.

Sorry for dragging this off-topic. I'd stand by my statement anyway, having played with 341 at FLR and watched 2590 in Archimedes, but if you want to continue this discussion, we can do it in PM's. I do understand that some of those teams were having issues and not playing their best, etc, at the time, and I've talked to some people making decisions there, and most of those picks were super reasonable.
Anyway on the regionals/districts discussion, I think that places like New York are having difficulty with areas around the state going to districts, and that something needs to change quickly about how regional and district teams interact or New York is going to have a very difficult time competing.
