It's not quite true that the East used to have a 1000-point rule. What
their TLAs said until about 2001 was that "regional winner going to
the playoffs" could not have a difference of more than 1000 points
between boards 3 and 4. The other three USATs used the simpler wording
"difference between boards 3 and 4 may not exceed 1000 points." I
believe the West is the only one still using this. I shall be curious
to see what Steve Doyle and his crew do about the problem for next
year.

I think there may be another problem.

Should the GGGg team be allowed to compete in the final playoffs
against the teams who are the winners of the North, South and West
events that may have still had the 1000-point rule?
