California Rankings 2014

I feel that having some areas doing regionals and others doing districts is unfair to teams. Teams from districts can compete in regionals and take World Championship slots from the regional event but regional teams can't return the favor It is also inherently more difficult to earn an invitation to the World Championships in a regional system; a team that consistently performs well and makes it to the semifinals in both of their district events is probably favored to earn a bid (assuming that they do similarly well in the District Championship event) but a team that does the same in two regionals is not going to St. Louis unless they win RCA, EI, or RAS (qualifying awards). I really hope that we all get into the same system soon and I really hope that system is the district system.

I think that our school could host a 30 team district event; we have had Battle at the Border here for the last 3 years, an off-season event with 30 teams. We haven't presented the idea of having another event here to the administration yet, but I am sure that they are fine with it

Well...I'm not sure at all, but we'd love to host an event here.

Anywho, I am mostly just curious about when/if and it seems like "not next year" is the answer for now.
