Re: Team of the Decade

I have two other candidates:

Team 71
- 3 World Championships (2001, 2002, 2004)
- 1 World Finalist (2007)
- 4 Division Championships (2001, 2002, 2004, 2007)
- 8 Regional Championships
- 1 Woodie Flowers Award (Bill Beatty, 2002)

Team 217
- 2 World Championships (2006, 2008)
- 1 World Finalist (2009)
- 5 Divisions Championships (2001, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009)
- 6 Regional & District Championships
- 1 Woodie Flowers Award (Paul Copioli, 2005)

If I had to vote on one of these three teams (67, 71, 217), Beatty would get the nod based on the number World Championships.
