What is the best way to separate teams into regionals? I suggest the night before the competition begins there is a placement process.

Here it is in my mind...

The sun is just about to stop gleaming off the Epcot ball. The stands are packed. The spotlights are pointed at the giant clear ball with every team's number poised to be dropped in and mixed (like a lotto drawing). The cheering and team spirit is plentiful. The antipication of the ensuing competition is mounting and contagious. Then the first ball is dropped out and Team X is in the first region. The next ball is dropped out and Team Y is in the second region.This continues until all the teams are placed.

I can see teams being ecstatic about which teams are in their regional and which teams are not. 'Wow, I am glad that we don't have to play them until the finals.' Or,'This is great, what if we pick or get picked by Team A.'

This would eliminate the controversy about how to separate teams and would definitely be totally random.
