I was quite disappointed to learn that all of the State Championships
are NOT on the same day.  Indiana's State Championship, which is on
11/21 and near the end of the month, will largely comprise of the
winning decks from the earlier State Championshps.  This takes away most
of the inventiveness that players usually may only find at Pro Tours or
World Championships (formats which are "new" and for which there is no
metagame).

Please consider having all of the State Championships on the SAME DAY
next year.  This will encourage players/teams to work hard at deck
construction in preparation for the tournament rather than necessitate
the copying of other states' "championship" decks.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong!
