: Where would people not be happy about having to play at least one match to claim a title?? I mean, isn't a title supposed to mean something?? It's usually something to be earned.. Maybe it's just me.. But y'know.. Whatever..

Well, I guess just those of us who have gotten a title without playing(not either of my teams, of course =) would be the ones upset by it...but we'll see...

: So far as "regions" go at nationals.. I haven't really thought about it since it's become a reality.. But I really like nationals for the fact that I get to see all my friends-- WHILE I'm doing my job of scouting..And now that it's going to be split in 4.. I doubt I'll get to see my friends a lot..

Well, that's why you can just spend time tracking us down like you've done before...and hopefully, you won't end up playing "pit tag" like you and I did in '99...but I digress...

: In my mind, winning regionals is a higher "honor" than winning nationals (no offense to anyone who's only won nationals and no regionals yet).. I just think the competition is closer to home and better competition..

: And on the whole thing about the "regions".. Do you think they're going to be splitting the tent up into those regions at all??

I'm guessing you mean the pit tent...and unless they have the regions figured out early enough for them to get the info to Disney/Freeman Decorating, it's hard to say if they'd be able to do this...

Just the latest ramblings from the mind of Nate
