Rae Lynn, I agree. We have beat that topic up here in the past. I totally agree, when you get to the Regional, to race to make it into the National, there should be a 40 man gate, and have a few alternates for guys that may not make it due to injury, etc. In my opinion, that is why there are area qualifiers, in order to weed out some people, to get down to a 40 man regional qualifier!! Allow alternates to sign up and show up, just like LL, and your done. My system would work much better. I also do not feel you should be allow to qualify in 4 different regions. That happens all the time also.
