Missouri 2018

[Unome]

While I do appreciate the Missouri thread seeing some love, there have been countless discussions over the number of teams going to nats before in general chat, and there are two interesting Missouri things for this year besides the change in nats bids:

-Pembroke is starting up its invitational again, as confirmed by SOnerd

-and Clayton High, the high school fed by Wydown Middle (which just ousted Pembroke Middle from their nats bid for the first time in a while) has formed a team and is competing in region 6

This'll definitely be a close year for the single bid from these two teams and Ladue.

St. James is also starting up their invitational again.

Edit: wait, where's this info on Pembroke Hill's invitational? (shameless wiki plug)

Just out of curiosity, why can nats only have 60 teams per division?

60 has been about the maximum number of teams that is logistically possible to hold in one tournament without being unwieldy. Even increasing to 65 adds 10 entire teams to the mix. Expansion is probably not entirely out of the question in the future, but it seems unlikely, especially anytime soon.

Has C division region 6 met yet? I'd be very curious in how Clayton performed.

Has there been any new info on if Missouri will get 2 bids at Nats? Being from NE Kansas and seeing these teams all the time, I think the showdown between Pembroke and Ladue over 1 bid would be pretty interesting.

*I also posted this in the KS forum*

Northland Results:
1st- Pembroke (56)
2nd- Olathe North (90)
3rd- Blue Valley North (103)

Not sure how many points Pembroke had, I can edit and add them later. Pretty sure it was by a relatively large margin though. No Ladue or Lincoln Southwest at this tournament. It will be interesting to see if either of them are at Warrensburg next weekend.

*edited to add that Pembroke had 56 points.

I would bet against it, with at least 4 to 1 odds.

Div C tournament is in early March like usual, not sure why the div B tournament is so early this year.

I noticed that Unome got rid of the rowspan for Missouri in the 2018 National Tournament Wiki page, so does that mean the national numbers are out? I couldn't find it on soinc.org, but I might be missing something. chalker?

The aren't out, but the trend of numbers so far is strongly indicative. The affected state tournaments are a while away, so I'll revert it for things change.
