Just curious.......I think last year 64 teams attended VCU, making it one of the biggest regional on the East Coast. Is there a specific reason to decrease the number of teams or am i missing something?
Also, i would like to know the teams who are planning to apply for Chairmans for VCU. I know last year, it was quite a competition (with 21 entries) and Sparky 384 was able to spark another Chairmans. Lets see if its gonna be as competent as last year or what not.

As Jeff mentioned, the regionals hold back spots for late registering and rookie teams. Last year VCU had 64 teams (and 5 spots left open), making it the largest regional in America (Chesapeake also had 64 teams. Toronto had 74).
Seeing as this is 116's only regional this year, we will be submitting Chairman's there. I'm willing to bet that 384, 388, 1033, 1541, and 1885 will also submit at VCU (and each has a legitimate chance to win).
