Their event model, sure. It's low-cost, solves the volunteer problem a bit, and seems like it's just a little more relaxed and low-key, like an offseason.

Have you ever been to one of our MI events? In many ways, they are better than a regional. The biggest noticable difference is that we play with the lights on. Ask anyone at AnnArbor this weekend if they think it was second rate.....Ask anyone at Troy next weekend. These are top notch events at <1/10th the price.

Their district system model, just try and implement it in non-team-dense areas.

I don't understand why people think that running low cost events have anything to do with where you live or how many teams are in your area. You have it exactly backwards. The BEST place for a low cost event model is in areas with low team density. Which is easier: starting a $150,000 event in the middle of nowhere, or starting a $7,000 event in the middle of nowhere?

While we may require a bit more help from volunteers, since we don't rely on any high priced staff from the East coast, we have not trouble getting people to come out and support us. Volunteers are exactly that: voluntary.
