Implying that NJ should get 3 nats bids (which obviously is neglecting states like Ohio and California, with a much better claim to more bids in terms of competitiveness).

No state gets 3 bids at the moment and NJ definitely wouldn't be the first to do so when we don't even have 2 bids at the moment, but yeah, if we could all go to Nats it would make preparing for States so much less tense

It is a fun exercise to try to rank the top 20 teams in the nation based on current performance, regardless of state, similar to how college football/basketball polls work. That way, you can rank all the Ohio and California teams you could possibly want. Makes for some interesting discussion!
