Re: toughest regional in 2011?

I'd say that any "compete-to-qualify-to-enter" event should be excluded from consideration for toughest regional. If you're there, it's because you're good anyway. Those events get their own category: Toughest of the Tough Events. (Eligible: MSC, CMP, IRI, other qualification/selection-based entry events I'm not aware of.) Of those, it's a tossup between MSC and IRI, but I'll take IRI (more teams, larger area that they hail from, and the insane amount of elimination ties last year). MSC for official event, with Einstein Field at CMP being tougher but not quite large enough for its own event.
By technical, I wasn't creating a definition of regional, but rather using FIRST's working standard. By FRC, MSC is a regional. I tentatively assume their definition is something along the lines of "Event that directly qualifies teams for the Championship," but this doesn't consider that district results plays into who goes from MI.

Regardless, I would agree with you otherwise. I'd go with Einstein, then IRI, the MSC. Einstein is a bit easier because you only have to win 4 matches though
