Re: toughest regional in 2011?

Good to see some love for FLR, it's always a fun regional.
(Hate, HATE, the stands though. Soooo static-y)

I'm pretty sure I read all the thread, but since I jumped around pages, I'm not certain. Has anyone posted the BBQ/SAUCE numbers for EVERY regional in one post? Or are the numbers all still scattered throughout?

Anywho.
Team 639 is (read: I am) looking to go to Nat'ls this year.

Since 2006, 177 has won two world championships, and been to Einstein 5 times. In that same time, they've only won the Connecticut regional once, and in the other years, never made it past the semi-finals. That either means that Connecticut is significantly harder then the world championship, or that 177 has continued to improve significantly every year after the Connecticut regional.

I believe if you look at the data you we see 177 lost to the eventual champion in the last 2 CT regionals in the semis as well as both regionals we competed at in 2007. In 2008 we didn't make the elims, deservedly because we were awful at Hartford.

We have also done only one regional the last 3 years and the generally and it takes the time at the regional to figure out what we got wrong and correct it within our witholding allowence for the next event. If we stopped improving we wouldn't have done what we've been able to the last 5 years.

Re: toughest regional in 2011?

I walked away from FLR thinking it was actually a little down this year (it was still pretty bottom heavy) but they have set the standard for every other regional to match with 8 triple digit scores (four of them did come in elims). It might be because defense is starting to show up a little more this week as well.

Wisconsin also had 8 triple digit scores.

That doesn't surprise me.
As the competition went on Florida started getting more triple digit scores as was San Deigo.

One vent that I have huge expectations of because it's a week six event and has only two rookies and many many competitive teams is Philadelphia. Many regionals have alot of teams that don't belong in the elims, to be blunt, but there will probably be double digit teams who deserve to make the elims and will miss out in Phili due to the level of competition there.

I agree with Akash on that one. Philly is brings great competition year in and year out. There are many good teams and it is going to be pretty difficult to win.

Re: toughest regional in 2011?

I have to say that Troy district will be very hard this year. By the time that comes around it will be everyone's 2nd comp and for 7 of those teams it will be their 3rd and for 3 it wil be their 4th comp.
