Re: pic: Lone Star Winners

That is a fantastic record of achievement from team 1108. Finding such generous grants for so many teams is surely a chairman's-worthy task. I've had a great deal of respect for team 1108 ever since I came across the team at Lone Star in 2003, and their first regional chairman's award in 2004.

Why would a team with such an impressive record, though, not choose to submit at their local regional, one that they were instrumental in founding?

They aren't the only team that doesn't submit at their "home" regional - the CA winners at KC were a Houston team - from the Galena Park district - 1429, another very worthy choice, at least from what I know their program.

This is less a criticism of the practice than a sincere question.
What makes a team choose one regional over another to submit?
