Quick Analysis: NXR Regions (complete)

Updated quick analysis of the NXN regional races.

Here is a ROUGH estimate of the groupings I would put each team in, to give an idea of the potential national rankings. This is ONLY considering what each team ran at their NXR Championship race, and my roughly estimated ratings (SW = 15:10, SO =15:10, NW = 15:15, HL = 14:50, MW = 14:45, CA = 14:50, SE = 14:50, NE/NY = 15:30) as well as the team scores vs. the top pack of teams in the field. Asterisk next to the regional #3/4 finishers (potential At-Large candidates).

UPDATE: At-Large teams have been announced, so we have our boys and girls fields set.

Boys At-Large Teams Invited: Dana Hills CA, Mahomet-Seymour IL, Springville UT, The Woodlands TX

Assessment: They were all #3 regional teams, and all among the "Tier 2.0" (#11-20) teams. Other T2 teams that might have just missed out: Claremont CA, North Central WA, Timpanogos UT.


Girls At-Large Teams Invited: Broomfield CO, Minooka IL, Palos Verdes CA, Sunset OR

Assessment: Again, all were #3 regional teams, and all among the "Tier 2.0" (#11-24) teams. Other T2 teams that might have just missed out: American Fork UT, Claremont CA, The Woodlands TX, Wayzata MN



Note: At some point, I might try to go back and get more specific ratings on some of these regions to yield a more precise ranking, but probably not until after NXN. I'm confident the tiers should essentially stay the same, with the possibility of some teams on the edges of their tiers moving slightly up/down with a more thorough review.
