As you probably gleaned from haverstall's post, we send four full 15-person teams to regionals to compete in the 12 events. Thus, regionals is a sort of "easy" competition in which each student does only 1-2 events. It is my understanding that teams with enough people to fill 15-person teams tend to do so at regionals, opting to have their students participate in fewer events each.r00ki316 wrote:That is interesting. So Luo, do you have 15 student teams spread through 12 events at Regionals or fewer students/team at Invites?
There's also a great % differential of teams advancing to State and my state allows multiple teams/school at State. So some MN schools may send more teams to allow more students to participate since many won't get the chance to compete at State.

Re: States sending two teams
Sorry, I meant multiple teams/schools advancing to the state tournament.r00ki316 wrote:I don't understand what you mean by "not having multiple teams/schools resulting in more teams in general...". How does not having multiple teams/school result in more teams? And a school is less likely, which the numbers support, to register more than 1 team if they are guaranteed to go to State (see below) than if they are not.haverstall wrote: Just curious, what percent of teams does your state send to the state competition? In MN Div C, 50% of the total number of teams goes. I think that not having multiple teams/schools resulting in more teams in general is an interesting perspective, although I think most schools would under-register rather than over-register.

Re: States sending two teams
Doubt it. WA has more teams then NJ and it looks really doubtful that we are going to send two teams. And you are talking B division I am assuming?cnapun wrote:Does anyone know if there is any chance of NJ sending two teams?

Re: States sending two teams
We do have a Number of Teams per State Wiki. It's not as helpful as the lists posted earlier because 1) It's combined B and C and 2) We only have 2011 and 2010 data. (Example: I don't think Arkansas will have over 100 teams this year).
Of course, if someone did happen to find data that splits divisions or is from earlier years...

Bollocks. I guess EV isn't coming...
At least this means we know our team number.

Re: States sending two teams
Time to go take out Oklahoma and Arkansas.
EDIT: Interesting they have slots for Canada and Mexico. Have those always been there?
