Re: Arizona Regional
I hope the AZ Regional stays small. We're the smallest in the country! Woo! I liked the smallness of 36 teams last year compared to the 300 teams of nationals (that doesn't mean I don't want to go to Atlanta again!). With 31 teams signed up so far, (if the elimination setup is the same) all but 7 teams don't get to compete for the championship until the last few hours of the competition.
At the team forum over the summer they said that AZ has the capacity to become a super regional someday. It is weird though that the 5th largest city in the nation only has 3 teams in it. Is FIRST really a suburb trend?
