The 2 people you have as panelists for this region (AlphaZealot and ChozenOne) are from TNR. I think one of them should be removed from the panel.
Personally, I think Alpha makes a great panelist (I'm likely not alone in this opinion) although he has made very few tournament appearances lately since he's going to college in the midwest. His overall knowledge of the competitive scene both locally and nationally is good and his reasoning is top notch.
I don't know much about ChozenOne, but I've heard/seen enough to make me believe that he doesn't make for a good panelist. There's probably a lot that could be said about ChozenOne, but the only things worth noting here are that Chozen has been banned several times and he has been accused for having very bias views (in his own skill level and that of other local smashers).
So my point is, you have 2 panelists from the same crew for the MD/VA region. TNR is a somewhat large crew in the region but TA is by far the largest crew in the area and is likely the only crew that has good enough reason to have 2 panelists.
In the interest of fairness, I'd say keep one of the previous panelists (preferably AlphaZealot), add the best panelist from TA that's interested, and add someone who is a prominent smasher but not part of TNR/TA like Chillin, Wife, Husband, Chu etc. (if not then another TA member)
I know this seems somewhat random, but I couldn't help but see an issue when I looked over the rules for applying. I don't have an issue either any of the panelists, so hopefully this isn't taken the wrong way.
With all that being said, I'm going to apply. I get the feeling there's not that many people applying from the area, but I'm just assuming.
