I think that if we had been able to participate in a third regional competition, we would have retained our position, but its futile to argue this becuase there is no way to truly know and obviously i am biased. However, I don't think you can say that we got lucky in two tournaments. in fact, our scores were steadier than other teams which averaged in the low 20's in one competition, and then averaged above 30 in another. this type of fluctuation shows more random luckiness than repeating approximatley the same average.

but i didn't mean to start a heated debate/argument/discussion here. just venting some steam about not being able to compete in the championship.

by the way, when is the banquet? i forget the date, time, place, etc.
