Just got an e-mail from him a few minutes ago to explain my

IMO (not speaking on the part of TRASH), I see the Deep South
Regional attracting teams from Florida, Georgia, Alabama and
Tennessee, while the Duke regional will attract teams from Maryland,
D.C., Virginia and the Carolinas.
We've had TRASH Deep South Regionals the past two years (at the
University of Georgia). If I remember correctly, only schools from
Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee attended (if I'm wrong on
this, please correct me).
