Wow. Looking at all these comments about reigionals, I feel so lucky we get to go to states automatically and out of the 20 years of existing, my team has only lost states once and only by a single point in 2005. But that still doesn't mean it's a given by any measure. I'm so scared for states on SATURDAY because I think this year will be really competitive with tons of new teams and everything like that. This would be a bad year to lose because of where the tournament is especially... :?

Statewise...NY, Ohio, or NorCal would be most competitive.

No, I believe
JC Booth (most competitive school of all time, have more national titles)
Solon (Mos competitive school as of late)

are both ahead of Churchil, and there may be others.
I think most states that send 2 teams can be considered competitive.

We ain't competitive. And neither is Indiana.

I don't think so because what if you pluck a school like Solon or JC Booth into a state like Alabama? Giant massacre, I'd think.

Though, plucking Solon into any state would result in giant massacre.

Putting them into my state?
Seeing as I'm on the dominating team...heck yes, giant massacre. It would be bad. BAD.
