My fear

Due to the nature this year that Regionals are qualifiers and the game is very vicious I have to this to say to people. Through a Regional it separates the good teams from the bad teams. Now if your a bad team going against a good team how do you get into the elimination round. The correct answer is with only three matches left on that Saturday you are going all out and at this point a DQ won't matter because if a DQ comes hey look I'm already at the bottom of the standings. What I am saying is you won't really see rough play until the last couple of qualification matches; until then it is too risky for a team to be DQ. A famous quote from Coach Bill Belichek (Coach of the Super Bowl New England Patriots) "The scariest games are the ones where the opponents have nothing to lose and all to gain."

P.S I will not be involved in illegal activity
