Re: Most Competitive Regional

This seems to be one of those ("this is the thread that never ends") threads....

You know, no matter how much we go back and forth on it, there's not going to be a clear-cut answer. Yes, there are some regionals that may be harder than others, but noone can say for sure that X Regional is better than all the others. You can't go by number of years a regional has been around...because newer regionals that crop up in areas with an older regional split up the area teams....which theoretically cuts the competitiveness.

My main point, though, is that this is also basically because none of us actually go to all the regionals (if you do, let me know so that I can shake your hand)....and you can't make a statement about which is most competitive unless you go to all of them. And even then, you'd only be one voice....you'd need a small group going to each regional and then voting afterwards on a series of points that relate to actual competitiveness, since not all of the people are going to look at everything.

I still stand by my point that taking an average age of competing teams at each regional will give you an experience score and thus show you which regional has the oldest teams at it, but whether that is a true statement of competitiveness is hard to say.

I also think we've beaten this subject to death, but that's just me.
