It seems to me in the past years when people are suggesting who are the Power Houses they always suggest teams that are 1) from their own regional competition, and 2) the teams who they know a lot about personally that stand out in National (one of the reason they stand out is because people who know them a lot talks even more about them than other teams).

And from National, it seems as though the finalists usually pick the teams from the same regional, therefore resulting certain well known regional always dominate the Power House List.

This may not be entirely true, but to some degree I still think this description still applies. Teams from some less popular regionals doesn't seems to have as much publicity... I am not saying this because of jealousy or anything. Just that I believe teams with lesser chance of publicity still deserves to be known.

I can already name a few teams that other people never came up with that deserve to be on the list. I think the reason why they are ignored is because they are at one of the more isolated regional that not everyone gets to attend, and they ended up only well known among their circle of teams.


So, may I suggest that when people come up with such list, they indicate which regional competition the teams they are listing have gone to...

Maybe this might shows the distribution of Power house team a little better, and let readers get a better picture of how good teams are in the FIRST competition. Maybe this will lead to a more complete list of every regional competition…
