Brian-
T190 went to Long Island last year and we can't say enough good things about it.
True there were a lot of rookies, but the competition still went well due the the motivation and the amazing attitudes/outlooks towards the game that many of the teams had. They were there to have fun and learn about the game. In that sense it was less intense and more fun- although we had to work a bit harder to help orientate people with rules and ideas on playing.
It's a great atmosphere and all the teams were very helpful to one another. We LOVED the venue, the party, everything about it.
We made some great friends in LI and it's too bad we can't go back there this year.
Best of luck to you- the LI organizers do a good job and you'll enjoy your time with the teams there if it's anything like 2k1.
And more teams is nice- but we enjoyed the size of it as well, because it allows for more play time by each team.
