Iowa Fan:

Did I understand you correctly? You are saying that (in general) District 1 is the toughest District in the State?

Hmmm... let's look at last years results:

Placers:
D-1 170
D-2 173
D-3 138
D-4 123

Champs:
D-1 31
D-2 36
D-3 28
D-4 9

Finalists:

D-1 54
D-2 72
D-3 54
D-4 27

Top 3 Placers
D-1 85
D-2 100
D-3 77
D-4 47

Total Team Points:
D-1 1089
D-2 1244
D-3 953
D-4 628

And I don't see a District 1 team in the points till you get to 9th place.

P.S. Similar results in 2001, except D-2 romped D-1 in the champs category to the tune of 39 to 25, and a D-1 team did make 8th place.
