<<What are those "most decent teams" who
have abandoned CBI, and what are the six teams that

Well, of the 31 schools that received one or more
invitations to NAQT Div I ICT--a pretty good indicator of who
the "decent" teams are--about half participated in
CBI. So maybe Matt exaggerated slightly: half, rather
than most, of the decent teams have abandoned
CBI.
And, like a previous poster, I won't touch question
