No invitational has ever had a competitive field comparable to Nationals. MIT 2016-2018 came close-ish, nothing else is even within range.EastStroudsburg13 wrote: I would dispute that these invitationals are necessarily more difficult than nationals. At the Solon Invitational C, for example, Solon finished with 167 points in a 70-team field, whereas at nationals with a 60-team field, Solon's score was over 100 points higher. Teams may bring reserve teams, but the sheer breadth of elite-level teams isn't at nationals level. This applies to pretty much every invitational (even SOUP and MIT this year did not have as tough a field as nationals, in my opinion). Certainly, these invitationals are more difficult than pretty much any state tournament.
Anyway, of the two invitationals, Centerville B is a good level more difficult than Solon B (and it's much more difficult to find any info online about the latter). Solon and Centerville C are at about the same level, with the stronger of the two varying from year to year.
