: Why is it that some regionals are being reasonable (i.e. giving teams more than 2 minutes to know who their partners are) and some are not?

: I KNOW that the rules say that we only have 2 minutes. BUT... at Western Michigan and SoCal (and at several others I hear as well), teams had effectively 10 minutes.

: I was hoping that the what I heard about how things worked at the WMR was a "silent recall" of the 2 minute rule, but as it turns out, this recall depends on which regional you attend.

Joe,

I can't answer for any other regionals, but I can tell you that at SoCal the staging area was not large enough for 12 teams called at a time. starting with match 13, they started calling teams a match at a time. It was not a rule change, but a logistical problem. If the other regionals where like this, then the staff at that regional probably had to make the same judgement call.

I'm sure at Florida they will have plenty of room, and teams will be called according to the rules.

PS, for you people who don't know anthing about programmin, != means Not Equal
