Should we not also include some info about how a team has done this season? For example, I thought my Gold team was pretty good last year, but this year's A team has been much more consistently successful and has only 2 members in common with last year's Gold team.

Notable finishes this season:

ASU A

6th Place Great Sonoran (5-3) (-1,-2,-6)
2nd Place Ant Eater (3-1) (-4)
6th best team record Beach Party (5-2-1) (T, -1, -19)
MAMMTI 4th place (6-2) (-1, -3)
UNLV 6th place (5-2-1) (T, -7, -16)
Regionals 1st Place (T) (8-0)

ASU B:

10th Place UCLA (5-3)
2nd Place UNLV (6-1-1)

If someone has it, they should post Texas' notable results, too.

I find this completely off. Sorry, but I really think Texas is so overrated. Are they even good anymore? Perhaps maybe they used to be. But not when I've seen them, that's for sure.

I have not seen Texas this year but they had a strong showing at Nationals last year from both the A and B teams. To question whether or not they are "even good anymore" seems a bit harsh.

Well, I guess I should clarify what I meant by that. When I said "anymore", I meant to say "this year". Saw them at the Downtown Invitational and was not impressed. Texas did not match up to any of the other teams that we went up against there. At all. I'm not sure if they lost a lot members from last year or what, but all I know is that their A team that I saw was not a team that I would consider stiff competition in the least. They seemed very inexperienced, unprepared and unpolished. To me, it seemed like almost all of their team consisted of newbies.
