Let me get a few things straight, Goss:
1.
Last year's teams: I was merely throwing out some
facts about last year, especially in wake of Shawn
Pickrell's post on pre-determined numbers in each
region.
2. TU pts. per TU heard DOES NOT take into account
opponent strength AT ALL. A top 10 team could have
superior speed but a dearth of knowledge for bonuses, thus
rendering them better than most teams except those with
superior knowledge AND quicker reflexes. In the
hypothetical scenario of top 10 teams all in the same bracket,
the bottom 3 or 4 teams will inevitably have worse
stats than another region.
3. <However, if
you had your heart set on St. Louis, may I suggest
going as a freelance moderator for NAQT. It's what I
plan on doing should only our D-2 kids wind up getting
called off the waitlist.>
I didn't ask for
your suggestion nor do I appreciate it. Mind your own
business, and be thankful you were pulled through the
Southeast by an ex-Maryland player.
Cheers,
Shaun
