So basically, this was a very boring set of regionals results. There was a grand total of 1 team not seeded to go to nationals that made it between all three divisions (condors, and that was always going to be a tossup anyway). Is triple crown successfully stagnating team transition / change etc? Is that a good thing?

Looks awesome! Really nice way to visualize the bids!

One question, I was not at North Central, but wasn't CLX seeded 3rd with No Touching! seeded 4th?
