Mike I think your assesment it wrong. Point in case. Abilene last year qualified only 6 people to the state tournement. While several other teams sent 8, 9, even 10 guys to the tournament and Abilene still won state. At the State tournament is quality of quanity that really matter more.
Nigel,
Just because Abilene was able to win state last year after only qualifying 6 does not prove your point. Think about it for a second. If Abilene had gone to a weaker regional, qualified 8-10, and had higher placings, do you think they wouldn't have won it? Of course not, they would probably have won it by a greater margin. Going to a weaker regional is an advantage. I agree quality is better than quantity, but both is even better.
