I think there could be less octos bids long term. PF has 3 more octos bids (if I did subtraction right) than LD or CX. But I agree that in the short term, it is probably for the best to expand the TOC.

@ R-Man, I don’t necessarily think that the spreading of octas bids weakens the strength of the tournament. I mean the TOC caps the number of entries at around 70 teams and from what I’ve heard, they only had around 60 something teams at the 2009 TOC even after accepting all the at-large bids. If anything, the proliferation of octas bid tournaments geographically would only bring about more competition, as more schools that don’t have the means to travel to other national circuit tournaments would now have the opportunity to qualify to the TOC.
