Yes, in the very back of the rule book, there is a 'tentative' National schedule. I don't know how exactly this will be followed, but I believe that it usually is pretty accurate. There may be a few changes, but it's close enough that it can be used to plan your team, should you feel the need to plan a National team before Regionals...
My 2010 events:
- Protein Modeling [1st @ R, 2nd @ S]
- Environmental Chem [3rd @ S, 12th @ N]
- WIDI [DQ @ S, 33rd @ N >.<]
- Trajectory [24th @ S, 15th @ Nats :D ]
- Experimental Design [22nd @ Nats :-? ]
WM placed 14th overall. [Massive congrats to Gelinas on 3rd!]

Does anyone know which states are normally which numbers, or does it change year to year? I know PA was 9 and 10 last year...

It does vary slightly from year to year, since it's by number of teams (except for the hosting state, which is usually 1 or 1 and 2) which fluctuates. However, it doesn't change a lot or fast, so last year's numbers are pretty safe to go by unless you're right on the edge of a section.

Based upon various things, it seems that team number is determined by the number of teams in that state in that division. The number of teams in each division is not shown on the membership map, though it is of course correlated. You can tell this because the order of team numbers by states do not perfectly match the total membership ranks in either division.

Also, the team 1 and 2 for host is only at some locations. It was last practiced at Wichita (though only one of the two hosts since have had their teams participate at nationals in their year)

Illinois did do that the last time they hosted though, so it would be reasonable to assume they would do so again.

Oh, hah, probably should've explained. State was today, we won with 92. 2nd place was 120 Wayzata, we expected them to get 3rd. Mounds View got 7th....must've had a terrible day.

Wow! Great job! How did you do? I didn't realize Mn held state so early, although I guess it's not that early considering Georgia Div B State is in 2 weeks.
