I'm with you there, Adam. I might still be able to remember how many out-of-state teams have attended L.A. and maybe S.D. since 2004. (69, 188, a team from Ohio? that won L.A. in 2004, 2 MI teams won S.D. in 2007, and I think I'm missing a couple teams. I know I'm missing the AZ teams that had to come out for a regional before 2003.) From east of the Rockies, there have been 3-4 teams, plus 341 is attending S.D. this year.

Vegas and Arizona have had more long-distance teams, as have the northern California events and Hawaii. I'm not sure about the Pacific Northwest area.


What do you say, East Coast and Midwest? Are you going to start coming to SoCal, or do the SoCal teams have to play you on your home courts?
