Ok, i know i'm an even number team, so i might not even be going to nats next year, but this may affect a lot of people here.
I've heard that there's going to be a bunch of new regionals next year, meaning that nats will be pushed back some more (i understand it's already been pushed back this year). the only problem is, if you push nats back even one more week, it's almost on top of AP Testing. Now, all you canadians don't care

, and anyone not in AP Classes probably doesn't care, but this could limit a lot of people from going to nats.
The solution? If nats must be pushed back more, instead of pushing it back just a week, it would have to be pushed back at least two or three (depending on how AP Testing scheduale is). I do know that schools elsewhere in the country end ealier than here in NY, but i'm not sure when, so i can't say if pushing nats back that far would have any effect on those schools' finals.
Of course, the other solution is to have like, 5 or 6 regionals a week, meaning that woody and dean would be going crazy

. Oh well, hopefully nats won't conincide with anything important next year.
