Re: So which one is more exciting? Regionals or the Championship?

It's a close call. I voted Championship, because when I'm there the excitement extends farther than I can see. Regionals are more concentrated and the excitement level can even peak higher, but I perceive a definite boundary around it.

Especially at early Regionals, there's a lot of anticipation over what is possible, and a lot of opportunity for any given team to do something outstanding. At Championships, there's an undercurrent of "best of the best" which raises my expectations of the teams' performance, strangely making it harder for a good showing to excite me. Fortunately, there are plenty of great showings to compensate.
