Milwaukee, and I believe Vegas as well, had a number of grants set aside for veteran teams wishing to attend a new regional. Last year, with the Boilermaker Regional, there were 10 rookie and 10 veteran grants available. This year, numbers were less of a motivating factor - I believe that the grants were dispersed where there was the most need.

And Billfred, we're all sorry that you can't make that hike up here to WI... you will be missing out on one crazy, robot-filled party though!
