This contradicts the other complaint about powerhouse teams denying others the opportunity to win. Which argument would you like to contribute to?

My response to the issue of teams consistently doing well is simple: how do you propose to change the situation? Would you handicap teams having a history of strong performance? Would you prevent teams who earned a spot in the elimination rounds of a regional competition from entering another regional? Would you do something else to penalize success?

I'm tired of the same teams getting to the playoffs at most regionals.

Same question.

Above all elese I'm tired of veteran powerhouses picking one another at regionals and not letting the teams not already qualified to get a chance at going...

If you don't want a team to win, play better than they do by playing better. Please don't tell me you want to play better than they do by forcing them to play at less than their best. (An apology follows at the end of my post.)

Why pick one another when all arealready going, pick the people that have never gone or don't "buy their way in every year.

There's that "buy their way in" phrase again. What do you mean? Everybody pays to play.

I'm more worried about the teams competing with the powerhouse teams when the powerhouse teams get tired of fighting one another, and travel out of state.

I think your point of view could benefit from some tweaking. The TechnoKats don't "get tired of fighting" our friends and look for fights elsewhere. We travel because we want to expand our experiences playing with new teams.

Do me a favor don't respond to this with "You should be spending your time improving you team and not complaining about others, that is a cop-out answer. You know who you are!!!

Sorry, too late. I won't unwrite my earlier response.
