(ok, safety glasses people! i'm running on my basic knowledge of statistics...
Theoretically, assuming that the distribution of strong to weak teams is close to a normal distribution then a random breakdown into 4 groups would result in 4 groups with normal distributions right?

using the regionals results wouldn't be totally representative as teams get better after each competition and there are extenuating circumstances that may throw results way off and make crazy outliers in the data... plus what about teams that can only afford one competition?

i like the concept because it makes more recognized winners and stuff, but these issues are really weird...

maybe next year...
