To see how combative the provinces of Romania (Moldova, Muntenia, Oltenia, Transylvania and the Western Province) are, we propose a series of comparative presentations of the last three seasons, depending on the competition categories. In each of them, together with their derivatives, the criterion will be the ranking in the top three at national level. Then we present to you a hierarchy of provinces, the prizes they have returned each year, plus a few other analyses. To make a transparent ranking of the provinces, the trophies won will receive the following score: 1st- 3 points, 2nd place- 2 points, and 3rd place- 1 point. In the end, we will calculate the total score achieved on all three seasons by each province and, according to this criterion, we will obtain a final ranking. For today, we propose the National Long distance category.

In a ranking of the number of national trophies won in the last three years as much as the Long distance, Moldova would lead detached. In total, 27 national cups were won by fanciers in this area during the 2017, 2018 and 2019 seasons. It would be followed by Oltenia, with 13 national trophies, Muntenia, with a total of 10 national trophies, the Western Province and Transylvania, both with 8, and 5 national cups won in the same period respectively. An interesting fact is that each province had at least one national cup during the three seasons mentioned above.

Moldova
In the first year of contests analyzed, 2017, Moldavian fanciers won 12 national cups. At the same time as the highest number of trophies won at the Long distance in 2017, they also occupied the most important places of the national ranking: 1 National Long distance Old birds, 1 and 3 National Long distance Yearlings, 1 and 2 National Long distance Fanciers, 2 National Long distance Old birds Palmares, 1, 2 and 3 National Long distance Yearlings Palmares, 1 National Long distance Fanciers Palmares, 1 National Long distance Palmares 3 years, 2 National Long distance Fanciers Palmares 3 years. Next year, in 2018, the following national trophies were won in the same province: 2 and 3 National Long distance Yearlings, 1, 2 and 3 National 1long distance Young birds, 1 National Long distance Fanciers, 2 National Long distance Palmares, 1 and 2 National Long distance Fanciers Palmares, and last year, in 2019, they occupied the following national positions: 3 National Long distance Yearlings, 1 and 2 National Long distance Young birds, 1 and 3 National Long distance Fanciers and 3 National Long distance Palmares.

Oltenia
A solid performance in the Long distance category also had the fanciers from Oltenia, with 13 national trophies won in the last three seasons. In 2017, 3rd National Long distance Old birds, 2 National Long distance Yearlings, 2 National Long distance Fanciers Palmares and 1 National Long distance Fancies Palmares 3 years came from Oltenia.

Last season, fanciers from the same province won 2nd National Long distance Old birds, 1st and 2nd National Long distance Yearlings, 1 National Long distance Palmares, and 2 and 3 National Long distance Fanciers Palmares.

In 2018 and 2019, the Western fanciers managed to win only a single national cup: 2nd place National Long distance Old birds in 2018 and 3rd place National Long distance Young birds in 2019.

Transylvania
The Province of Transylvania has five national trophies won in the Long distance category in the last three years. Fanciers from this province won the 2nd National Long distance 3 years Palmares in 2017, 1 and 3 National Long distance Palmares in 2018, and in 2019 they won 3rd place National Long distance Old birds and 2 National Long distance Fanciers.

Analysis:
At first glance, we can see that the province of Moldova won the most and most important national trophies in the Long distance category in 2017. The national champions from almost all categories (6 of 9 categories) were from here, which leads us to say that they clearly dominated this category for that year. The 2018 season, however, brings a higher diversity of national winners. Nine Moldavian fanciers, three from Oltenia, two from Transylvania, three from Muntenia and only one from the West province climbed the national podium of the Long distance category in 2018, with four of the five provinces having at least one national champion in one of the variations in the category. Last year, the force pole in the Long distance category moved to the south of the country. Oltenia and Muntenia together won the most important national cups in this category: 1 and 2 National Old birds, 1 and 2 National Yearlings, 1 and 2 National Palmares, 1, 2 and 3 National Fanciers Palmares, etc. According to the classification criterion used by us, Moldova is the best of the five provinces in the Long distance category in the last three competition years, with the ranking looking like this:
1. Moldova – 58 points (28/2017+19/2018+11/2019= 58)
2. Oltenia – 26 points (8/2017+ 5/2018+13/2019= 26)
3. Muntenia – 18 points (4/2017+6/2018+8/2019= 18)
4. West- 15 points (12/2017+2/2018+1/2019= 15)
5. Transylvania – 9 points (2/2017+4/2018+3/2019= 9)
