I appreciate Chad's effort to find a non-biased process of qualifying quality teams to the state meet. I think that this process will also allow some teams that are in very weak sectionals an entry into the state meet. A possible solution could be to use the WCCCA rankings in some way. Maybe state that at least 2 of the top 3 teams need to be ranked in the top 10 in order to be considered as an extra qualifier. I realize that the rankings are never perfect, but the top 10 is usually fairly accurate.
