That is an interesting trend, but it should be expected. What I think is more interesting is that we discussed this in a very long thread a few months ago:
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...agenumber= 1. So far, I've only seen one person who participated in that thread change their mind now that they've seen the system.
Just to be the exception, I'm on an odd numbered team that does not currently qualify to attend nationals. We've also won a national championship in the past (like you). My goal is to do as well as possible at the regionals this year so we can go. If not, we'll be first in line for nationals in '03.
I don't believe the system is perfect, but it is much better than most of the alternatives.
