another thread --- we could just look at the number of states represented at each regional. For example, as of this morning there are teams from ten states registered for the St. Louis regional. We expect this to increase to eleven or more after second regional registratration begins. However, most of these states actually border Missouri, or have only one other state between.
On the other hand, there are seven Northeast and Midwest teams signed up for the Florida Regional, and some from other Southern states also, representing a total of eight US states -- plus a team from Puerto Rico. So it appears that Florida might be one of the more popular destinations measured by total team-miles.
Florida a popular destination? Gee, I wonder why?
