Splitting region 8 was odd for sure but the real problem lies at how many bands advance to Area. You would be looking at even less state spots for area b and then area d would approach 35+ bands. No system is perfect but you have to keep in mind how long that day might be for some of those bands regardless of how much competition they have. Prior to the realignment you had bands performing at 9am and making finals performing around midnight. I believe it was due to safety more than anything else, no perfect system
