For NJ, 8 of 60 are "not from around here". Including 2 Brazilians and a Turkish team - very cool, four national anthems! (Waldo from Canada is also attending, we haven't seen them since they won Chairman's in 2008).

There are several more teams - about a dozen - who have 'closer' regionals (e.g., Bronx could go to NYC, Philadelphia could go to, er, Philadelphia, etc) but chose Trenton, NJ.

5 are Rookies, only 3 are second year teams.
