Multiple CA's- sure. But the same regional year after year? Aren't there other teams at that regional worthy of something too?

Arizona no longer has to worry about that one... Since 2004, I think 842 has won every RCA there. Now, they can't win it there or anywhere. Problem solved!

In all seriousness, I think this might or might not be a good idea. It would motivate teams to go to multiple regionals. However, sometimes a RCA winner can't afford to go to more than one regional a year, so they need to go to a farther-away regional to compete for it again. And it would show just how good a team is.

Hmm...Interesting side discussion, Wayne. I'll have to think about it a bit more.
