Region Realignment
Regions are fluid and flexible. They are designed to group teams together based on who teams play the most.

Nationals Memories: Sam Hiller on 2009
My first Nationals was in Allendale, MI, at Grand Valley State University. This was during the time of the greatest dodgeball team ever, a Lakers team that didn’t drop a single point all season. This Nationals featured nine teams, and after a season where nobody outside of GVSU really had the talent to compete in the modern game, it was still a great tournament.
