What does everyone on the board like....do you want new teams making (and winning) the tournament every year (parity) or do you like the dynasties (pretty much the same powerhouses every year)?

If it's a choice of parity vs. dynasty I would take parity, which IMO is better for the growth of the sport as new teams/towns get to experience the excitement of the Tournament first hand. It also gives other teams and younger kids hope and enthusiasm if they believe they have a legitimate chance to get there.
