Maybe pertinent to this thread - what Region does WEB DuBois get placed in next season? They're close to Male and down the road from St. X, but they're South of 264 and putting them in the 6th would balance both Regions with 19 teams.

I honestly believe that St X may be the best. What a loaded region
