There's usually a slight bias toward competitiors from the region of the tournament. Not all teams bring their judges from their specific areas, but instead hire people from the region as to not pay transportation fees. These people know that region's style better than the majority of traveling judges. That increase of the host region's judging makes for better odds of regional-style-based success by those from the region. (Hopefully that all made sense)

Unfortunately that did not impact this year as TX actually had 0 DIs in Finals or IX. . .Tx usually has 2-3 in DI FInals not to mention 3 in DUO. . which they dont have this yr. . .so flawed.

Congrats to Mark Isaacson and Tex dawson who are in US Finals and Nicole K in OO!

I would disagree. Texas had the most finalists overall (4) tied with Pennsylvania. California, who usually does very well, had 1 finalist. Minnesota, who has had so much success in recent years, didn't do as well as Texas.
