Also, only the top 3 teams received medals in each event rather than the usual 4 in 2010. In 20, only 22 events were held, as Technical Problem Solving was only a practice event in 2010 and not held at all in 2009, and Pentathlon was not held at all either year. The Division C iteration was held virtually, with participation from some teams from the Central East Pennsylvania Regional, which was not held. In 2021, due to ongoing recovery from COVID-19, teams from Division B competed in the temporary East Regional with teams from Central East and Southeast regionals. However, this tournament was eventually cancelled due to the 2019-20 Coronavirus outbreak. This included the five-time defending state champions Springhouse Middle School. In 2020, due to a low number of B Division teams in the Central East region, most of those teams were expected to compete in the Northeast region.
North Pocono High School and Abington Heights High School have exchanged regional wins following Athens' fall after 2013, but Athens has started experiencing a resurgence with the start of the 2020s. Eventually, Harlan Rowe Middle School emerged in Division B after competing for many years in relative anonymity, becoming the first team from the region in either division for 13 years to qualify for the national tournament.
In the original years, teams from Stroudsburg dominated the region, but later Athens Area High School took the torch from Stroudsburg High School in Division C, and several schools fought for the supremacy in Division B previously held by Stroudsburg Junior High School. Then, in 1997, teams from the Lehigh Valley joined teams from the Reading area who had been competing in the Southeast region) to form the Central East Regional, and the composition of the Northeast Regional has remained largely unchanged since then. The Northeast Regional was formed out of a split in the Eastern Pennsylvania Regional in 1991 (results from this time can be found on the Southeast Pennsylvania Regional page).
