I don't think that I need to PM you - Just name it - If the location is supposed to be a secret, it is a pretty poorly kept secret - I'm pretty sure that I know which one you have in mind; but I don't want to speculate.

And - OK - So at least one championship is truly limited to in-state teams. The remaining 30+ (I think that there were over 30) don't care as long as your registration money is green. Some did fuss a bit about out-of-state entries, but as far as I know they did not reject any. The point was that absolutely no one's specific home base excludes them from the program.
