Also, I can't see 2056 getting into GTRW that easily; it's been full for a while and they'll be down on the waitlist for too long for it to be feasible for them to try to get in when there are three other perfectly good regionals they could attend in Canada.

I suspect 2056 does not plan to attend GTRW.

I would expect both 1114 and 2056 to register at GTRE as their 2nd registration, and probably Windsor as their third.

It means that for the first time since 2007, there will be a regional in Canada that doesn't have one or both of 1114 and 2056 as the favourite to win.

Don't expect GTRW to be a cakewalk for whoever wins it though. With 188, 610, 772, 907, 1241, (possibly 1285 too), 1310, 2852, 4001, 4343 and more in attendance, its going to be a tight race at the top of the field, being a Week 1 regional with no powerhouse that's traditionally disproportionately strong. All of the mentioned teams are frequently at the top of the field beyond 1114 and 2056. They're all fairly equal too.

In 2013, for the most part, 1114 and 2056 had OPR's around 100, 610 was around 60-70, and the rest of the mentioned teams (except 907) down around 40-50. 2013 was an off year for 907.

Can't wait to see how it goes down. I hope the 2014 game continues the recent trend of the game getting better and better each year.
