While this may be true I have also encountered tests that I would have expected to see at the regional level. All that I know for sure is that state is gonna be interesting...

This is accurate. Our state is moving rapidly towards standardization of Regional materials, and many of the test bank tests (used in mostly every region) just aren't very good! Of course, while the State tournament is a much stronger production, weird things still happen even there...like Thermo B last season.

Yes, our codebusters test for our regionals was definitely one of those standardized ones given that it said on the very top of the cover page "Harper Regionals" instead of "Neuqua Regionals"

I'll probably set up a when2meet a week before states happen once people start getting their schedules. Our team won't arrive till 3-4pm so let's see how it plays out.

Which Hamilton? There was a Hamilton JHS at Western Illinois on 3/2 - I haven't seen the results from there. I'm guessing that's not the team you mean. There's Hamilton Elementary in Chicago - they'll be at the CPS regional next weekend. Or there's Hamilton Middle School in Madison - they're in Wisconsin, won the Wisconsin SE regional, and will be at the WI state competition next weekend.

The Hamilton that you may have seen at invitationals is the Madison one, and usually goes to Nationals.

Hamilton JHS...they were really good at the Rockford invite

Hamilton is one of several out-of-state teams that regularly travel here to find greater competition. You can find their Regional results publicly on Avogadro.

The Hamilton that was at Rockford is the Madison team.
