So, last night I worked my tail off between scenes trying to get these numbers out to you wonderful people, and here they are:

9 Regional Champs and 14 Regional Finalists are missing from Nationals.

In Arch, there are 16 finalists and 14 champs...5 of which are champs and/or finalists twice (I call them "2-timers" for lack of a better word)...that breaks down to 35% of the division as winning/finalizing...19% finalists, 16% champs, and 5% 2-timers

In Curie, there are 12 finalists and 12 champs....1 of which is a 2-timer...that makes 28% of the division as winners/finalists, 14% finalists, 14% champs, and 1% 2-timers

In Galileo, there are 12 finalists and 11 champs...2 are 2-timers...that makes 27% winners/finalists, 14% finalists, 13% champs, and 2% 2-timers (NOTE: Galileo is the only division with 83 teams...the rest have 84)

In Newton, there are 9 finalists, and 11 champs....3 of which are 2-timers...that makes 23% winners/finalists, with 10% finalists and 13% champs, as well as 3% 2-timers, to break it down further..

Thats all for now....as always, if I screwed up in numbers, let me know...but since Im exhausted right now & I need to pack for FL, please analyze it yourself..do you think the division is fair?
