are regionals at Princeton U. is extremely well run, I believe. (I guess it's because Princeton U. is such a cooool place!) I like it much better than the states tournament.

What state are you in, where third at states is really bad? In PA its really good, but that's because there's 200+ teams in our state.

Usually regionals is pretty good, but last year there was a new director, and they decided to change the schedule a week from the competition! We still did pretty well, though. It'll probably be better this year.

At the state where I'm from 3rd is bad too. That and if we got 3rd our coachs would probably have heartattacks cuz thn we couldn't go to nationals.

I mean, in PA only the really good teams make it to nationals. You have to be in the top two, and it's pretty hard to make it there consistently. (some teams do, of course)

Heh, you even have it better than us.

In New York, third at states is amazing. Third at regionals would be very good.

There's 500+ teams in the state. 35+ in my region. Only the top 4 from regionals go to states. Then I think the top 2 from states go to nationals.

So getting to states is quite a feat in itself.

Wow, that's a lot of teams. Are there any states with more, or is NY the largest?
