I've just come to a startling realization...

You all whine too much! Get over it! Most kids who cannot place (I said "Most," not "all") in the top 4 in a regional probably won't place at state.

Take this for example. My senior year, the El Dorado 4a regional was considered one of the weakest (I think, I really do not know, as I was not as aware as I am now). However, in 103, 3 out of the top 4 from that bracket were 3 out of the top 4 at state!

The fact of the matter is, the only way to do this fairly would be to seperate teams at regionals or have a 64-man state tournament. In fact, we do have a 64-man state bracket, we just divide it into two weeks...
