If you can go to only ONE competition including all the Regionals & the Nationals, I recommend that you pick either NJ or IL.
The Nationals are great but they are not anywhere near as intense as the typical regional. The atmosphere, the crowd, the local flavor, the abilitity to actually WATCH the whole tournament! Regionals are GREAT. Besides, the Nationals are soo huge, it is easy to get lost in the shuffle.
As to why the NJ or IL regionals, the venues get the nod. Both of these venues are 3 side viewing in a gynasium. Excellent viewing,very theatrical. Also, both of these competitions have a history of great teams and rivalries.
Just my 2 cents.

P.S. I would have given the nod to CT but for 2 things. 1) As we all know on this forum, the competition is already booked up with a waiting list to boot. 2) I am lead to understand that the venue is aweful for viewing. If it were not for the great teams that attend that we want to see before we face them at the Nationals, I doubt that we would have even considered going to this regional. JJ
