The only idea I had in this regard was to see which TBs topped the
Symposium list for my region (8). Walter mentioned that some regions
publish their regional symposium results in their newsletters.
Unfortunately, Region 8 does not (why not remains a mystery to me).
Although I always find it interesting to go through the AIS Symposium and
see which TBs seem most appreciated throughout the country (world), I
think the regional results would prove far more valuable in terms of
identifying those cvs most likely to perform well in a particular area
(acknowledging, of course, the reality of a variety of climates within
any given region).
