Is this why we're hearing about issues in NJ? Too many fencers for one division?

Geographically though, the two NJ divisions COMBINED are still smaller than any of the Texas divisions. Which is why when someone complains about driving an hour to attend qualifiers I automatically tune them out...

Holy polynomials, Commissioner! Someone activate the Peter Gustaffson signal!

Where on the USFA site is this info? I drilled down into every sub category on the tool bar. Did I just miss it ? (What category is the data listed under?)
Thanks & regards !

You could ask SFencer or Neinteen, they could post an entire list for you. They are VERY good at posting lists.

Isn't a bigger division better? If the only issue is number of qualifiers, than it shouldn't be the size of the division that matters, but the quality. If you have 1700+ scrubs (not that this is true), you shouldn't get more than a few qualifiers. If you have the issue we have... the 4th largest division with the smallest division radius (by far!) and the highest concentration of world team members... it is a whole different ballgame. I think quality concentration is just as, if not more, important than numbers.
