i dont know if i explained that right.....
But sometimes I like to see how people are doing things in Division C, even if there are a few different dimensions.

If we did the "admins/mods make all 46 possible event threads" then we could have the organization we have right now + 2 links for B and C that would take you to a 'virtual' forum with whatever threads we specified using SiegeLord's magic links, I believe.

If the "admins/mods make all 46 possible event threads" thing was used, where would threads about trial events go? For example, in NY, trials count toward your score- so there's often a lot of discussion about them. Would you have to PM a mod or something to get them included, or would they go in the Regionals/States/Invitationals section, or what?

Trial events count towards your score in NY? Isn't the point of a trial event to see how an event is without really affecting anybody?

Yes they do. There's 25 events in NY that count for score - 23 National events and 2 trials.

That's interesting. I never really thought of that. But at least there aren't too many trial events.

in TX there are 28 events, the 23 national and then 5 state events, and we have to choose 5 events to drop and not compete in at state, which is nice if we aren't prepared for one

There seems to be more new threads than usual being made. Maybe we could have new threads get mod approval like in Polling Place?
