I was on the team in 2014, the only time we did put together a Massachusetts team, and I will say that funding and the fact that the tournament happens right around finals for most MA schools were definitely issues then, too.

AMSA may technically be in the Boston MSA but is significantly closer to Worcester than to Boston. The Worcester MSA is for some reason confined only to Worcester County.
