Re: Wanna ask why...
This has been discussed many times before in other threads.
Venues have available times and non-available times. You take it when you can get it. Boilermaker must take place during Purdue's spring break. Someone from Wildstand might be able to say why Midwest was on the same weekend.
Yes, it's unfortunate that there's a lower number of teams. We had a few IN teams go up to midwest due to proximity. You get more matches, but less time in between for repairs. What can you do. You live with it and do the best you can. Sounds like the real world to me. I wish we could have seen some of the other big teams as well, but it was kinda nice seeing some of the rookies and newer teams come out strong and show what they got.
The part I hate the most about small regionals, is that only a handful of teams don't make it into eliminations. I just don't like that.
